Schematic representation of the genomic organization and synteny analysis of miR-214 and its paralog detected on fish genomes. Orthologous genes shared by the widely distributed copy are connected by black lines. Orthologous genes shared by the paralog copy are connected by gray lines. The interrogation dot on 3’ region of stickleback indicates no detection of any gene once miR-214 and its host gene were detected on the region of the scaffold that are not anchored with other scaffold yet. Genes represented above the midline are in sense strands, whereas those represented below are in antisense strands. “Chr_” means chromosome and “S_” means scaffold.
