Example of phylogenetic analysis of HDMACs pre-miRNAs in the mir-154 family. The branch labels are pre-miRNA IDs prefixed by abbreviation of species scientific name; hsa (Homo sapiens - human), bta (Bos Taurus - cow), gga (gallus gallus - chicken), ssc (Sus scrofa - pig), eca (Equine canibus - horse), and cfa (Canis familiaris - dog); followed by numbers that indicate the proportion of evolutionary distance in terms of nucleotide substitutions per site per unit time, which indicates the changes in sequences when they evolved from a common ancestral sequence. The alternating background colors (light pink, light green) facilitate visualization and comparison of miRNA species within the cluster.
