ANAgdb has retrieved sRNA-seq datasets for A. trichopoda and N. colorata from public databases. Utilizing the established miRNA identification pipeline cen-tered around miRDeep-P2 (Kuang et al., 2018), we identified 186 miRNAs belong-ing to 109 families in A. trichopoda and 141 miRNAs belonging to 88 families in N. colorata.
