Figure 1From: Limited evidence for evolutionarily conserved targeting of long non-coding RNAs by microRNAsWorkflow to detect conserved microRNA targeting of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs). Conserved microRNA target sites (complementary seed matches) were identified in the GENCODE human gene annotation based on a 46-species multiple sequence alignment as described previously [21]. A total of 1,267 microRNA families were considered. Different subsets of lncRNAs were analyzed for over-representation of sites compared to a random background model.Back to article page
