Figure 4

Frequency in percent of base-pairing (Watson–Crick or G:U wobble pairs) for each position of the miRNA:miRNA* duplex as predicted by RNAhybrid. The frequency was obtained by dividing the number of sequences in which base-pairing occurred at a given position by the total number of miRNA sequences associated with a particular AGO. “Total” refers to the average of a combined set of all AGO1, AGO2, and AGO5 sequences. Connecting lines are included for visualization purposes only. Note that because the overhanging 3′-end of the mature miRNA sequence, sequence positions up to position 19 were considered only. For those positions, miRNA:miRNA* duplex formation can be assumed as all miRNAs in the set were of length 21 or greater.
