For instance, miR-17-92a cluster is consisted of six miRNAs, miR-17 is the first miRNA in the cluster and miR-92a is the last miRNA in the cluster.
All these interval regions are consisted of clustered short repeats, although their function remains unknown.
In this study, a novel gene, designated as puf-A, was cloned and functionally characterized, and its homologs in zebrafish, mouse, and human were identified as one of the three homolog clusters which were consisted of 14 related proteins with Puf repeats.
Cluster I groups 70.97% of total samples into two sub-cluster group A1 and A2 whereas, Cluster II is consisted of 22.58% of samples and finally Cluster-III includes 6.45% of the total samples.
Lastly, cluster 4 is consisted of let-7f-2 and miR-98 (Table 2).
Cluster II was consisted of two tolerant genotypes FL478 and Kala Rata.
The Within-cluster MI strategy is consists of applying the standard MI method to impute missing data for each cluster independently.
Applying a similarity index of 90% to PCR typing results, 8 clonal clusters were identified consisting of groups of 2 or 3 isolates for each cluster.
For example, among the 162 chimpanzee PSGs, 9 clusters were found, consisting of 2 clusters of 3 genes and 7 clusters of 2 genes.
Two QTL clusters were detected consisting of five and four QTLs, controlling total seed weight, plant height, stem diameter, female flower number and fruit number.
