  • n.d. indicates not determined.

  • a Novel miRNA sequences have been submitted to the miRNA registry (http://www.sanger.ac.uk/cgi-bin/Rfam/mirna/browse.pl.) and they have been given new names in accordance to the miRNA registry numbering (e.g. miR-A22-3′ is also called miR-409 in the miRNA registry).

  • b The exact length of the miRNAs which have been detected solely by primer extension is not known. Thus, the two last nucleotides at the 3′-termini are in italics as they are only predicted based on a 23 nt theoretical long RNA species. Primer extension assay generates two cDNA products with a size differing by one nucleotide. Based on the miR-134 and miR-154 sequences obtained independently by cloning strategies (Lagos-Quintana et al. 2002), we have considered the shorter cDNA product as the correct 5′ termini while the longer one might correspond to in vivo processing heterogeneity and/or addition of an extra nucleotide in a matrix-independent manner by the AMV reverse transcriptase (Promega technical service, pers. comm.).

  • c miR-154/A19 are processed from the 5′ side of A19 (Lagos-Quintana et al. 2002) while miR-323/A1, miR-329/A2, miR-A9, miR-A22 and miR-A24 are processed from the 3′ strand of the A1, A2, A9, A22 and A24 gene copies, respectively suggesting that both strands of A-type can potentially be converted to miRNAs.

  • d Depending upon RNA samples, we could also detect a ladder-like pattern superimposed to the mature 5′ end of miR-N. Thus, this miRNA might not fulfill the stringent criteria described in (Ambros et al. 2003).

  • e mir-341 was not found in our in silico search as it is not conserved at the human inprinted 14q32 interval.
