Figure 3

3UTR 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.
