The alignment file shows conservation of a human miRNA in many species:
  • human miRNA sequence and its secondary folding
  • section of the UCSC multi-way alignment that contains the human miRNA precursor
  • indication of the mature and seed (2-8nt) regions
  • known miRNAs in the alignment region, with miRbase links, and experimental evidence
  • links to genome assembly for each species
