Fig 4. Potential miRNA precursors in the silkworm Hox cluster.

Fig 4

(A) Schematic representation of the silkworm Hox cluster with potential miRNA precursors for miR-iab-4 (blue) and miR-10 (red). (B) Schematic of bmo-mir-10 precursors and alignment of bmo-miR-10 orthologues from selected bilaterians. Boxed regions indicate miR-10 primary sequences. Asterisk indicates sequences that are highly conserved with those of silkworm. (C) Schematic of bmo-mir-iab-4 precursors and alignment of bmo-mir-iab-4 orthologues from selected bilaterians. Boxed regions indicate bmo-mir-iab-4 primary sequences. Asterisk indicates sequences that are highly conserved with those of silkworm. (D) Secondary structures of bmo-mir-10 represent precursor (TCONS_). (E) Secondary structures of bmo-mir-iab-4 represent precursor (TCONS_). All secondary structures were predicted using RNAfold.
