Figure 1.
The secondary structures of the pri-miR-218 mRNA. These structures were predicted by inputting two 801-nt long pri-miR-218 DNA sequences centering the rs11134527 locus into RNAfold, with either (a) the rs11134527-A or (b) rs11134527-G allele. The figures and the values of minimum free energy were generated by RNAfold (http://rna.tbi.univie.ac.at).
