Additional file 1:

Novel miRNA loci in human, mouse and rat genomes. This files contains the novel miRNA loci we found in human, mouse and rat genomes. We found them through blasting all pre-miRNA sequences of the three species on their whole genomes. These novel loci were used later to identify miRNA clusters.

Additional file 2:

miRNA clusters found in human, mouse and rat genomes. This files contains two parts. Table 2a contains the miRNA clusters we found in human, mouse and rat genomes and their positions. Table 2b contains the miRNA clusters in which miRNAs have been mapped to their families according to miRBase's assignment. In this table 17 miRNA clusters, in which we have found significant coordination among miRNAs, are marked with red asterisk. Literature supports for the function of 15 of them are also listed.
