Codon preferences in sRNA-mRNA interactions. The mRNAs regulated by sRNAs were characterized according to codon usage (Codon Adaptation Index) (a) and availability of tRNAs to decode the mRNA (tRNA Adaptation Index) (b). sRNA-mRNA interaction regions (IR) located within the coding sequence were also characterized according to codon usage (c) and tRNA availability (d). Statistical significance was assessed using the Mann-Whitney test, *0.05 > p > 0.01, **0.01 > p > 0.001, ***p < 0.001
