Description of terminology

miRNA loci : A region of cassava genome which contains a predicted miRNA or group of miRNAs. It's compatible to "miRNA gene" or "primary miRNA". The symbol of miRNA loci herein comprises "AY" as a prefix and 7 digit numbers (for example, "AY0000001")
mature miRNA : Functional parts of miRNA loci that are able to bind miRNA targets resulting in miRNA degradation or inhibition. Mature miRNAs herein are structural predicted from stem loop structure(s) on miRNA locus. One miRNA locus can contain more than one mature miRNA. Therefor, the symbol of mature miRNA herein comprises "ay" as a prefix and the same 7 digit-number as their miRNA loci (for example, "ay0000001"). In case of more than one miRNA in miRNA locus, the symbol will be added "." and number, for example "ay0000001.1" and "ay0000001.2". The symbol will be added "-5p" or "-3p" if mature miRNAs are from both arms of duplex were predicted to function (for example, "ay0000001-5p" and "ay0000001-3p").
Family : A group of mature miRNAs that contain the similar sequences.
Mature miRNA sequence : Sequences of predicted mature miRNA
Chromosome : Location of predicted miRNAs in cassava genome version 4.1 (i.e., chromosome number, scaffold number) based on Phytozome version 11
Start : Started position of predicted mature miRNA in cassava genome version 4.1 based on Phytozome
End : Ended position of predicted mature miRNA in cassava genome version 4.1 based on Phytozome
Strand : DNA strand (sense (+) or antisense (-)) in cassava genome version 4.1 based on Phytozome
