Hox genes are predicted targets for mirn10 and mirn196. Due to genome duplication and subsequent gene loss, zebrafish retains seven clusters of hox genes (gradient grey boxes) that include five copies of mirn196 (blue boxes) and five copies of mirn10 (red boxes). Although protein coding genes of the zebrafish hoxdb cluster were lost, this cluster retained a copy of mirn10[108]. The mirn10 (gradient grey boxes with red surroundings) and mirn196 (gradient grey boxes with blue surroundings) genes both have multiple hox genes as computationally predicted targets.
