Homology analysis of the identified miRNAs. (A) Comparison of identified miRNAs of H. armigera (red) and S. litura (blue) as well as those of B. mori (green). (B) Homology analysis of miRNA sequences homologous to lepidopteran miR-993a* and miR-993b*. The alignment was conducted for all the homologs of har-miR-993a*, har-miR-993b*, sli-miR-993a*, and sli-miR-993b*. The nucleotides are marked in different colors. The names of the miRNA sequences are listed on the left, labeled with their taxonomic order (for insects, marked in red) or phylum (for non-insects, marked in black). The abbreviations represent the species as follows: aae, Aedes aegypti; cqu, Culex quinquefasciatus; dme, Drosophila melanogaster; dps, Drosophila pseudoobscura; dsi, Drosophila simulans; har, Helicoverpa armigera; sli, Spodoptera litura; bmo, Bombyx mori; tca, Tribolium castaneum; dre, Danio rerio; fru, Fugu rubripes; tni, Tetraodon nigroviridis. The dotted line in the middle of the figure separates the miR-993 family members from the miR-10 family members.
