Figure 5From: Identification and characterization of small non-coding RNAs from Chinese fir by high throughput sequencingDetection of miRNA-mediated mRNA cleavage using modified 5' RACE. Partial mRNA sequences from target genes were aligned with corresponding miRNAs. Each top strand (blue) represents a miRNA complementary site in the target mRNA, and each bottom strand (red) represents the miRNA. G:U wobble pairing (circles) and Watson-Crick pairing (vertical dashes) are indicated. Red arrows indicate the 5' termini of the degraded mRNA fragments isolated from Chinese fir, which were identified from cloned 5' RACE products, with the frequency of clones shown.Back to article page
