Figurative example for the new naming scheme in miRCarta. MiRNAs are named with m-[number] and are organism unspecific. Precursors are named [organism_abbreviation]-[5p miRNA]-[3p miRNA].[location ID]. In this example, we have a human precursor hsa-1-3.1, consisting of miRNAs m-1 and m-3. If this precursor has another location in the genome it gets another location ID as exemplified for ppy-2-3.1 and ppy-2-3.2.
