Predicted folding structure for putative novel pig miRNA stem loop precursors. Primary mature miRNA is shown in orange with the seed sequence in brown. Star sequences are shown in yellow. Top: ssc-mir-chr12 has the same seed sequence as hsa-miR-130a-3p and maps to the livestock (e.g. goat, horse, cow, sheep) miRNA miR-454. Middle: ssc-mir-chr2 has the same seed sequence as hsa-miR-3193 and very little homology with known sequences. Bottom: ssc-mir-chr13 has the same seed sequence as hsa-miR-5693 and matched several ESTs derived from the pig X chromosome
