Characterization and Identification of MicroRNA Core Promoters in Four Model Species
Figure 3
The Distributions of CT Repeats
The first group to the left of the figure shows the distributions of CT repeats in the genomes of the four species studied, estimated by a Monte Carlo simulation. The subsequent groups show the distributions of CT repeats in the upstream of microRNA hairpins. The vertical axis is the percentage of microRNA genes and randomly sampled sequences that contain CT repeats (see text).
