Figure 3From: An evolutionarily biased distribution of miRNA sites toward regulatory genes with high promoter-driven intrinsic transcriptional noise3′ UTR of regulatory genes harboring multiple distinct miRNA sites are more conserved compared to other genes. (A) Relation between the 3′ UTR length and number of miRNA sites; each dot represent a gene. (B) Distribution of 3′ UTR sequence conservation scores for 1st and 4th quartile group. (C) A scatter plot of the average 3′ UTR conservation score versus the average number of distinct miRNA sites. (D) A scatter plot of the average of conservation score of gene coding region versus the average number of distinct miRNA sites.Back to article page
