From: Global gene expression analysis reveals reduced abundance of putative microRNA targets in human prostate tumours

Figure 5

Correlation between the reduced abundance and the number of target-site types. PicTar targets were divided into eight groups according to the number of target-site types or the length of 3' UTRs. (A) A positive correlation between the reduced abundance of miRNA targets and the number of target-site types the target mRNAs contain. (B) A positive correlation between the propensity for low expression and the length of 3' UTRs of miRNA-target mRNAs. Average number of miRNA target-site types in each group divided by 3' UTR length is shown above.
