Table 5: Transcript group criteria for feature evaluation.

Defining criteria for the transcript groups 1, 2, and 3. Groups were defined based on whether or not the 3′UTR of the transcript contained a PRE site that perfectly matches the consensus sequence 5′-UGUANAUA and whether or not the transcript appeared significantly repressed by Pum.

Group	Characteristics	Definition
1	0 Perfect	Transcripts that had no perfect PRE sites present in the 3′UTR.
2	1+Perfect with Effect	Transcripts that had at least one perfect PRE site present and the differential expression showed a significant effect (LFC ≥ log2(1.3), q-value ≤ 0.05).
3	1+Perfect with No Effect	Transcripts that had at least one perfect PRE site present but the differential expression showed no significant effect (LFC ≥ log2(1.3), q-value ≤ 0.05).
