Identified miRNAs in eight cichlid species. (a) Phylogenetic tree of the focal cichlid fishes constructed using 2,262 one-to-one orthologous transcripts (all branches are 100% supported by bootstrap value). The circles indicate the number of expressed mature miRNAs detected in each species (circle size scaled accordingly). (b) Overview of miRNA numbers uniquely expressed in one species or shared among different monophyletic groups within the eight cichlids studied. Dots depict which lineages share the bar of miRNAs. Lines connect the dots of monophyletic groups that share particular miRNAs. The orange portion of each bar indicates the number of expressed miRNAs of our dataset that are homologous to known miRNAs in miRBase. In both figures, blue and green are used to highlight African and Neotropical cichlid species, respectively.
