  1. "Version of miRBase" denotes the update version of miRBase where the datasets are downloaded. "Size of clusters" is equivalently to the number of miRNAs found in a single cluster. There are 60, 55 and 47 clusters identified in the three genomes respectively, which are equivalent to 45.45%, 51.86% and 48.67% of the total human, mouse and rat miRNAs.
