Mutual Information (MI) for each alignment position of mature miRNA sequences from the Confidence Set and the associated (A) AGO1, AGO2, and AGO5, and (B) AGO1 and AGO5 only. Red dots represent the actual MI values. For estimating statistical significance, the MI values of shuffled data are also provided (boxes showing 5% percentile, mean and 95% percentile of 10,000 iterations). In (A) for position 1, the actual MI is significantly higher than for the MI shuffled data (pFDR < 0.0021). Note that the shuffling was done per position, such that different base compositions leading to different background distributions are taken into account.
