| Method | "Protein-encoding and microRNA (miRNA) (26) genes were predicted from assembled or improved BAC (Bacterial Artificial Chromosome) contigs by a combination of evidence-based (27) and ab initio approaches, projected to B73 RefGen_v1, and subsequently filtered to a set of 32,540 protein-encoding and 150 miRNA genes (supporting online material) (fig. S2)." |
