[Genome] chicken genome - missing MIRs

[Gyoergy Abrusan]

Dear Madame or Sir,

I recently compared the two awailable drafts of the chicken genome, and there is a qiute significant difference in the amount of MIRs in the repeat annotations. In the first version there are approx 10000 MIR repeats, while in the second draft 26 (!), all on the 1st chromosome. The disappearence of effectively all MIRs is a bit strange, and before i proceed further I would like to ask wheter there were known issues with the annotation of MIRs in the first draft (2004), (or there are known issues with them in the second draft [2006], i.e. SINEs were excluded from the annotations)     
Thank you in advance.

Best wishes
Gyorgy Abrusan
