As has been shown previously, miR-124 targets tend to have “seed” sequences corresponding to nucleotides #2–7 in miR-124, specifically in the 3′ UTR. This chart shows the −log(p value) of Fisher’s exact test analyses to determine the likelihood that the number of sequences found in the putative miRNA targets would have occurred by chance. Separate analyses were performed for the 5′ UTR, open reading frame (“Coding”), and 3′ UTR. Note that the 5′ seeds (6mer sequences corresponding to #1–6, #2–7 and #3–8) of miR-124 are enriched in miR-124 putative miRNA targets, but only in the 3′ UTR.
