From: MicroRNAs in the oriental fruit fly, Bactrocera dorsalis: extending Drosophilid miRNA conservation to the Tephritidae

Fig. 5

Comparison of the mir309-6 cluster across Drosophilids and three Tephritid fruit flies. Sequencing of small RNAs from B. dorsalis, identified six members of this cluster previously believed to be specific for Drosophilids. The search was expanded to other two Teprhitid species for which genome information is available (Bactrocera cucurbitae, melon fly; and Ceratitis capitata, mediterranean fruit fly) yielding similar clusters. The arrangement and spanning length of the miRNAs in the cluster in the Tephritid cluster seem to significantly differ from that in Drosophilids
