Figure 3.
Correlation between the expression ratios in miRNAs and their targets. The ratio is the level of expression in D. melanogaster over that in D. simulans. (A) The scatter plot and (B) the box plot. In A, the x-axis is the miRNA expression ratio, but in B the ratios are given by rank. Note that there is no correlation at all between the expression level of miRNAs and their predicted targets, in contrast to the prediction of the simple repression motif.
