Z chromosome distribution bias of predicted targets for miR-2954. (A) Distribution of predicted targets for miR-2954 among zebra finch chromosomes. (B) Distribution of predicted targets for miR-2954 among chicken chromosomes. Note, in both zebra finches and chickens, miR-2954 targets exhibited a strong bias towards Z chromosome-encoded genes. (C) Distribution of predicted targets for miR-27b and miR-122, two other Z chromosome-encoded miRNAs, among zebra finch chromosomes. The distributions of protein coding genes among zebra finch and chicken chromosomes are shown in blue color.
