For both set 1 and set 2 the predicted number of anchor sites for 46 unique microRNAs, conserved in all flies, and corresponding randomized microRNAs (averaged over five cohorts) and the respective signal-to-noise ratio (indicated above the bars) are shown with and without using free energy filtering of anchor sites for UTRs with either masked and unmasked repeats.
(A) Predictions for set 1 with anchor sites conserved in the melanogaster and obscura groups.
(B) Predictions for set 1 with anchor sites conserved in all flies.
(C) Predictions for set 2 with anchor sites conserved in the melanogaster and obscura groups.
(D) Predictions for set 2 with anchor sites conserved in all flies.
