  1. Lower P-values in the Greater column indicate that the gene set of the Gene type overall has longer 3' UTR lengths, more conserved 3' UTRs, or stronger mRNA expression than has the rest of the human protein coding genes. Lower P-values in the Less column indicates the opposite characteristics; that is, shorter 3' UTR lengths, less conserved 3' UTRs, or lower mRNA expression. CpGH, high-CpG; Consv, conservation; Exp, expression; miRNA, microRNA; mRNA, messenger RNA; UTR, untranslated region.
