B. germanica miRNAs. a Precursor sequences of the MIR-309 miRNAs in B. germanica, T. castaneum, D. melanogaster and D. virilis. Highlighted in grey are the sequences corresponding to star miRNAs, and in green those corresponding to mature miRNAs. The conserved seed sequence is underlined. b Genomic clusters of newly identified B. germanica miRNAs containing more than 3 miRNA genes. c Read size distribution in the NFE small RNA libraries of the studied species; read length (abscissae) is expressed in number of nucleotides. d Frequency of miRNAs with 3-end modified reads in the developmental stages studied. The inset shows the relative abundance of miRNA reads per library. The abbreviations for the stages are explained in Table 1
