Figure 4

Sequence alignment and predicted secondary structure of four novel miRNAs. Shown on the left are the sequence alignments between An. gambiae and Ae. aegypti miRNA precursor hairpins. Plus signs indicate conservation. The mature miRNA is marked in red while miRNA* is marked in blue. Note the perfect conservation of the mature miRNA (red), high conservation of the miRNA* sequence (blue), and lower conservation of the surrounding stem and loop structure, a hallmark conservation pattern of pre-miRNAs. Shown on the right are the predicted secondary structures of corresponding An. gambiae miRNA hairpins. The mature miRNA is marked in red on the hairpin.
