Global Analysis of miRNA Gene Clusters and Gene Families Reveals Dynamic and Coordinated Expression

Figure 3

Examples of diverged expression of sense and antisense miRNAs in miRNA gene clusters and families. The detailed sense and antisense miRNA sequences are also presented on light, and they can perfectly reverse complementarily binding to each other. (a) miR-103a and miR-103b are homologous miRNAs and also clustered on chromosomes 5 and 20 as sense and antisense miRNAs (the figure only lists the sequences on chromosome 5); (b) miR-423 and miR-3184 are a pair of sense and antisense miRNAs on chromosome 17; (c) miR-24-1 and miR-3074 are sense and antisense miRNAs on chromosome 9 and also clustered in miR-23b gene cluster.
