Structural analysis of the Fasciola hepatica miRNAs. (A) Comparison of precursor miRNA structure of conserved miRNA fhe-miR-125b-5p and novel species-specific miRNA fhe-miR-Novel-11-5p. Nucleotides are colour coded based on predicted mature sequence found in sequenced sample (red), predicted star sequence (blue), predicted star sequence with sequence found in sequenced samples and hairpin loop (yellow) as determined by MiRDeep2. The minimum free energy (MFE) of each miRNA is also displayed. (B) Comparison of average nucleotide length of total precursor miRNAs Caenorhabditis elegans (cel), Schistosoma japonicum (sja), S. mansoni (sma) and F. hepatica (fhe).
