miRNA cluster analysis in A. gambiae . (A) Number of miRNAs in clusters in respect to genomic distance in A. gambiae. (B) Number of miRNAs conserved in clusters between A. gambiae and Ae. aegypti. (C) Conservation of mir-2/mir-13/mir-71 and mir-2944/mir-309/mir-286 in A. gambiae and Ae. aegypti. (D) Novel A. gambiae-specific clustering miRNA loci that generate miR (grey) and miR* (green) associated sequence reads in mosquito libraries; the predicted pre-miRNA stem-loop structures are shown below.
