PPRE patterns used for the research is indicated in bold with the reference associated. GGA: Gallus gallus; HSA: Homo sapiens; MUS: Mus musculus. Nucleic acids in red indicate conserved nucleic acids with the PPREs used for the research. Location: genomic location refers to the start of the Ensembl first exon (+1). Strand: "RC" indicates that the sequence is reverse complemented compared to the genomic sequence displayed at that location, otherwise a "+" is indicated. STAN or PASTER indicates that the PPRE has been identified either by STAN or PATSER softwares respectively (see Methods). For the ACOX1 gene, despite previous results indicating PPRE in the Mus musculus promoting DNA sequence [81], we cannot found any PPRE with the STAN procedure in any species. We used another PPRE pattern [82] identified in the Rattus norvegicus DNA sequence. This pattern allowed us to identify potential PPRE in Gallus gallus and Mus musculus sequences. The absence of result in the Homo sapiens sequence was consistent with the literature [78].
