Secondary Structure and Small RNA Coverage of a Novel Ichthyosporean miRNA

(A) The secondary structure of the novel miRNA Sar-Mir-Nov-1 identified in Sphaeroforma arctica with the likely Drosha and Dicer cut sites indicated. Mature and star strands are indicated in red and blue, respectively, and magenta indicates the presence of offset reads resulting from the Drosha cuts.

(B) The mapping of small RNA reads on the genomic location of Sar-Mir-Nov-1. The numbers on the x axis correspond to the numbers in the secondary structure in (A). Note the presence of offset reads (external reads mapping outside the pre-miRNA) that are in accordance with Drosha processing. See Figure S2 for more miRNA structures.
