Comment
It is not clear either from phylogenetic or syntenic information how many Mir-279 genes were present in the last common ancestor of ecdysozoans and how the priapulid Mir-279s relate to the Mir-279s in nematodes or arthropods and thus these multiple paralogues are classified here as orphans pending new data.
