Duplication events of miRNAs in multigene families
Click on table to view larger version.

This table indicates the number of loci within a family found to be tandemly duplicated or within a duplicated block, along with the target mRNA. The number of segmental duplications is shown under both a loose and a strict definition. The loose definition shows all possible miRNAs that reside in duplicated blocks, while the strict definition shows the number of miRNAs in duplicated blocks with four or more conserved flanking genes.
