Comparison of substitution rates in testis and non-testis mature miRNAs across chromosomes. Differences in substitution rates of mature miRNAs on the X chromosome and autosomes are shown. Substitution rates were calculated from orthologous sequences of human and mouse using the Kimura 2-parameter model. For non-testis mature miRNAs, miRNAs with precursors not expressed in mouse testis were used. Comparisons with significant differences are shown with ** (p < 0.01).
