Statistical results of miRNA families in miRBase16 and miRBase17
| miRBase | miRBase16 | miRBase17 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Species | 142 | 153 | |
| Family numbers | 1148 | 1220 | |
| Family number of each organism | animal | 858(319)* | 914(331) |
| plant | 256(75) | 268(82) | |
| viruses | 33(2) | 37(2) | |
| chromalveolata | 1(1) | 1(1) | |
* For example, 858 (319) means that there are 858 animal families, and 319 of them contain no less than 5 members.
