Clan: mir-36 (CL00088)

Summary

mir-36 clan

The mir-36 clan contains the RNA families mir-35, mir-36 and mir-42. The following bioinformatic methods were used to confirm the relationship between these families: CMSEARCH, HMMER3 and PRC [1,2,3]. The hexamer seeds of the mature miRNA sequences from these families were manually checked for similarity using sequences obtained from miRBase [4].

This clan contains 6 families and the total number of sequence regions in the clan is 130.
