From: Insight into microRNA regulation by analyzing the characteristics of their targets in humans
Expression and expression breadth differences between miRNA and non-miRNA target genes. (a) Distribution of median expression values from 79 human tissues and p-values for the difference between miRNA and non-miRNA target genes. Error bars indicate standard errors. (b) Distribution of the fraction of miRNA and non-miRNA target genes restrictedly expressed in certain number of tissues; p-values: statistical differences of median fractions between miRNA and non-miRNA target genes in each bin by Wilcoxon signed rank tests. The results from PicTar predicted miRNA target genes are shown.
