Typical mapping patterns of miRNAs. Sequence reads are mapped to the putative precursor regions of the B. rapa genome. Four examples of miRNA patterns are shown including miR158 and miR408 and two novel putative miRNAs (miR5802 and miR5804), each exhibiting two well-defined regions of alignment. The unique reads are mapped to the stem-loop sequence (the secondary structure with folding energy value is shown immediately below the genome sequence). Sequences with <5 reads are not shown. The sum of the read counts of each sequence are incorporated into the sequence name as _x read count. The green color represents the forward reads, red represents reverse reads. Mature miR sequences and miR* sequences are highlighted in orange and blue respectively.
