Table 2 Average number of targets per mature sequence in conserved, legume-specific and soybean-specific miRNA families
From: Genome organization and characteristics of soybean microRNAs
miRNA families | Average number of targets predicted per mature sequence | Mature sequences with predicted targets1 | Principal predicted function |
|---|---|---|---|
Conserved | 10.2 | 72/79 | Transcription factors (15/26 families) |
Legume-specific | 8.8 | 14/14 | Disease resistance proteins (4/9 families) |
Soybean-specific | 3.4 | 57/84 | Variable |
