miRNA conservation and cloning frequencies in four nematodes. (A) miRNAs were divided based on whether they were conserved between species (i.e., CEL_CBRI_CREM means conserved between C. elegans, C. briggsae, and C. remanei, but not in P. pacificus). Columns show the number of reads for these loci, stratified by whether they map to known miRBase or novel miRNAs. Last two columns indicate how many loci are either known miRBase miRNAs or novel miRNAs. (B) Venn diagram for the number of miRNA loci in different conservation groups. (CEL) C. elegans; (CBRI) C. briggsae; (CREM) C. remanei; (PPAC) P. pacificus.
