A schematic illustration of miRNA and its putative binding sites in the 3′UTR of selected genes. Novel miRNAs target 6 rare minnow genes using a 3′UTR binding site; these genes include dmrt1, Foxl2, AR, ERalpha, ERbeta1 and ERbeta2, according to predictions made using miRanda, TargetScan, RNA22 and PITA (a local version). The obtained predictions were identical among the four algorithms. The miRNA:mRNA sequence alignments, together with the calculated score and the minimum free energy of the duplex, are presented above each target binding site. In the alignment, “|” refers to perfect complementary between bases, “-” represents a gap, and “:” represents a G:U wobble pair
