In addition, the corresponding distribution for the human ENCODE regions [22] is shown. The numbers differ slightly from ref. [22] since here we have normalized them to 100%. Percentages for the 5'-UTRs are not given due to the very small bar areas; the values are (from left to right): 1.24%, 1.69%, 1.70% and 0.6%. In general, the distribution of structured RNAs closely follows that of conserved sequence, i.e., there is no strong enrichment of RNAz hits in a particular annotation class. The most striking difference between human and fly is the much larger fraction of intronic RNAz hits in the ENCODE data.

The individual paralog groups have diverged rapidly in the ancestor of extant eutherian. Surprisingly, there is very little sequence variation between human and rodents in each of the paralog groups. The six families of alignable microRNAs are indicated in color. (b) WPGMA dendrogram derived from pairwise -scores of the members of the cluster. The analysis of the mature sequences demonstrates that the members of the cluster probably have arisen by means of tandem duplications.

Indeed, non-local duplications occur almost exclusively in the ancestral vertebrate and teleosts, resp., in accordance with the 2R/3R model. Species for which large experimental screens for microRNAs have been performed are indicated by a larger font. The phylogenetic tree is based on a recent multi-gene analysis of the major bilaterian groups [69], and the phylogeny of holometabolous insects [70].

Its homology with /is likely but this hairpin might also have evolved . (b) The two most plausible reconstructions for the history of the cluster. Scenario (1) postulates four paralogs in the ancestral vertebrate, where, presumably after the first duplication, one lineage either lost or gained in the middle position of the cluster. Subsequently, in this scenario one copy of the three-membered cluster was lost in actinopterygians, while the two-membered clusters were lost in tetrapoda. Scenario (2) postulates three paralogs in the ancestral vertebrate and the independent loss of the in two distinct clusters in the teleosts. (c) Duplication history of the cluster reconstructed from genomic position information and the gene tree.

Despite the short sequences, the major clades are well separated in this phylogenetic network: there are two vertebrate groups, and , both of which show a tetrapod and a teleost branch; arthropoda and nematoda are also clearly separated; only the basal deuterostomes do not fit very well due to their diverged sequences. (b) Phylogenetic network of sequences, which occur in three clusters each consisting of two miRNAs genes (see inset). A tandem duplication of the ancestral sequence gave rise to a single cluster which was duplicated subsequently. Not all details of the duplication history can be resolved due to the short sequence length. It is clear, however, that the duplication events pre-dated the last common ancestor of tetrapoda and teleosts. It is plausible to associate these cluster duplications with the genome duplications at the origin of the vertebrate lineage. Networks were reconstructed using the neighbor net method.

Quantitative investigations of miRNA gene evolution requires the construction of data sets that are consistent in their coverage and include those genomes that are of interest in a given study. Given the size and structure of data, this can be achieved only with the help of a fully automatic pipeline that improves the available seed alignments, extends the set of available sequences by homology search, and reliably identifies true positive homology search results. Here we describe the current progress towards such a system, emphasizing the task of improving and completing the initial seed alignment.
