Additional Descriptive Data
	Northern analysis of 24 microRNAs showed that the expression of mir-4, mir-5, mir-124 and mir-6 isoforms (mir-6-1, mir-6-2 and mir-6-3) is restricted to embryogenesis and the first larval instar with levels decreasing during the latter part of the first larval stage. (Sempere et al., 2003) Expression has a broad peak from the fourth hour until the end of embryonic development. Probe (Aravin et al., 2003) mir-6-2 transcript is ubquitously expressed in precellular embryos. At stage 5, transcript expression is repressed, first at the posterior pole of the embryo, then in a dorsal patch at the anterior of the embryo. Late in stage 5, transcript expression begins to be lost in the mesoderm and neural ectoderm in ventral and lateral regions. By late embryonic stage 5, expression is refined to transient stripes in the dorsal ectoderm These stripes become further refined to a single central band by embryonic stage 7. Expression is essentially lost by the onset of germband elongation, except for residual expression at the anterior tip of the embryo, and in the dorsal ectoderm. mir-6-2 transcript is localized to the nucleus at all stages.

Additional comments	The annotation for mir-6-2 has been changed in release 5.31 of the genome annotation, so that instead of representing a mature miRNA it now represents the precursor stem loop pre-miRNA. The symbol of the annotation has been changed from CR33040 to CR42954 to reflect this change. (FlyBase Genome Annotators, 2010)
Other Comments
	mir-3, mir-4, mir-5, mir-6-1, mir-6-2 and mir-6-3 sequences are clustered within 900bp in 56D7-56E3. (Sempere et al., 2003) New annotation (CR33040) in release 3 of the genome annotation. (FlyBase Genome Annotators, 2002-2003)
