Note: Hairpin accession and mature miRNA accession are referenced from miRBase. The T. gondii match is in the given chromosome and the 500-nt extracted fraction starts at the position specified through the number following it. Within that fragment the hairpin starts at the position specified thereafter. The score is biased to maximize similarity in the seed sequence (see Materials and methods). Alignment length and miRNA length are given to show that they are quite comparable. More comprehensive lists can be found in Tables S1 and S3. mmu, Mus musculus; hsa, Homo sapiens.
