Note: ^athe provisional name of miRNA, the abbreviation of Novel “N” was added to make a differentiation with know miRNA in Additional file 1: Table S1; ^bthe start, and end positions refer to the locations of the pre-miRNA hairpins at the reference genome of Anopheles gambiae, or ^#Aedes aegypti; ^csequence of mature miRNA; ^dlocation of a mature miRNA at the 5p or 3p arm of its precursor.
