Figure 2

Distribution of location of miRNA genes in the genomes of pig, human and mouse. A) Positions of miRNA genes in intergenic space. The space between flanking protein-coding genes was standardized to 1 and the position of each intergenic miRNA gene was mapped on the standardized space. Value close to zero at x-axis indicates that miRNA is situated closer to 5′ flanking gene and values closer to 1 indicate localization of miRNA close to 3′ flanking gene. B) Positions of intragenic miRNA genes in gene space. The space between start and end of a host gene was standardized to 1 and the position of each intragenic miRNA gene was mapped on the standardized space. Value close to zero at x-axis indicates that miRNA is situated closer to start of host gene and value closer to 1 indicates localization of miRNA close to end of this host gene. The number of miRNA genes analyzed is given in parentheses.
