Conservation and Divergence of miRNA Binding Site Patterns in Whole-Genome Duplicates and Triplicates in Brassica rapa

	Duplicates		Triplicates			Total
No. of miRNA targets	1	2	1	2	3
Same	—	17	—	—	1	18
Divergent	34	1	0	14	3	52
Total	34	18	0	14	4	70

Note.—Numbers are indicated of paralog pairs and triplicates showing the same or divergent miRNA binding site patterns based on the miRNA binding site prediction data set for Brassica rapa. Genes generated through WGT are divided into duplicates and triplicates based on how many genes are retained. “No. of targets” indicates how many genes are miRNA targets (1 or 2 for duplicates and 1, 2, or 3 for triplicates).
