Figure 1

Genes involved in regulatory processes are disproportionally targeted by miRNAs. (A) Distribution of miRNAs targets. (B) Distribution of number of distinct miRNA targeting 3′ UTR of genes. The two vertical lines (in blue) indicate 25 (left line) and 75 (right line) percentiles values. (C) A list of the over-represented GO biological process terms in the set of genes with more than 53 predicted miRNA sites in their 3′ UTR ( 4th quartile set). (D) A list of the over-represented GO biological process terms in the set of genes with less than 15 predicted miRNA sites in their 3′ UTR ( 1st quartile set).
