Characterization of miRNA duplicated blocks in the four test plant species.

Abstract

<p>(A) The percentage of observed potentially duplicated blocks with different numbers of flanking conserved protein-coding genes with respect to the total number of potentially duplicated blocks for each test species. (B) Percentage comparison of observed potentially duplicated blocks with differing numbers of flanking conserved protein-coding genes with respect to the total number of potential duplicated blocks for inter-family and intra-family miRNAs. (C) Percentage comparison of miRNA families evolved from tandem and segmental duplications with respect to their respective totals. (D) Percentage comparison of miRNA family members evolved from tandem and segmental duplications with respect to their respective totals.</p
