Figure 7. Secondary structures of the used target sets.
The different secondary structures which are defined to be functional in our model universe. (a) Target set 1, (b) target set 2, (c) the number of secondary structure (from a million random RNA-sequences of length ) which fold into a specific shapiro structure. In red are the shapiro structures of target set 1, in green those from target set 2. Note that only a part of the distribution is shown. A total of 2130 Shapiro structures with an abundance of less then 100 secondary structure is not shown.
