Average signal intensities of intronic ncRNA and host gene mRNA pairs
ncRNA locus | No. of pairs | ncRNAs | mRNAs | Corr(r) | P-value |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Upstream motif 1 | 23 | 35 308 | 480 | −0.17 | 0.01 |
Upstream motif 2 | 20 | 25 287 | 650 | −0.12 | 0.06 |
No upstream motif | 33 | 14 367 | 7574 | 0.47 | <10−8 |
All RNAs | 76 | 23 591 | 3561 | −0.07 | 0.04 |
Values are normalized signal intensities for Cy-labelled samples from mixed C.elegans populations. The expression levels of ncRNAs with upstream motifs were on average 55-fold of their host gene mRNAs, while that for ncRNAs without upstream moitf were only 2-fold. Corr(r) represented the correlation expression level between ncRNAs and their host gene mRNAs. P-value is a significant indicator for corr(r).
