Near perfect complementarity has been observed between miR-5 and miR-6 at 20/21 nucleotides. [2] However, miR-5 is only related on a minor level to any of the three respective miR-6 sequences. miR-6 genes reside in a gene cluster containing other non-K-box family miRNAs, including miRNAs-3 and-309, and the Brd box family gene mir-4.
