Relationship between the length of 3'UTR and mRNA decay rate. Variation of mRNA decay rates of different 3'UTR length groups for miRNA target genes with different miRNA target sites predicted from PicTar (a), TargetScanS (b), and RNA22 (c). The median length of each 3'UTR length group is shown in the legend boxes. The degree of the mRNA decay rate differences between the low, median, and high 3'UTR length groups in each miRNA binding site groups was estimated by Wilcoxon rank sum tests and the significant ones are depicted in p-values.
