Figure 1

The figure illustrates the output from a miRDeep2 analysis. The lower part of the figure shows a 113 nt sequence (putative miRNA precursor) from Salmo salar contig 096315 of the preliminary genome assembly along with reads that aligned to this sequence. The experimental data (reads) were from sample 1 (liver). The total miRDeep2 score for this miRNA was 1036 (based on scores for hairpin stability (mfe) and the read counts). Total number of different unique reads that aligned to the putative precursor is listed in first column on the right side of the figure. The sequence of the mature 5p miR is shown in red while the sequence of the mature 3p miR is shown in purple. A graphic illustration of the hairpin-loop from this particular precursor is shown on top of the figure. The subsequent homology analysis against miRBase confirmed this precursor as a true miRNA gene belonging to the 30 family of evolutionary conserved miRNA genes.
