miR-237 is differentially expressed between males of ZY10330 and C. nigoni. (A,B) Scatterplots showing miRNA read counts in C. nigoni (x-axis) against either hybrid males (A) or C. briggsae (B). miR-237 mature (5p) and star (3p) are highlighted. (C,D) Secondary structure predictions of the miRNA precursors in C. briggsae and C. nigoni. Predictions were made by RNAfold. (E) Alignment of mir-237 genomic locus in C. briggsae and C. nigoni showing some sequence divergence in the putative promoter region.
