Other target site evolutions. (A) The conservation of another collection of target sites in 10 species of mammals which are compared with human. Lim et.al. (2005) and Selbach et al. (2008) data are from transfection experiments that monitored the levels of mRNA and protein changes, respectively, after perturbation. (B) The observed proportions of sites that are conserved between human and other vertebrates. The legend is shared by A and B. (C) The conservation of randomly selected 6-mers in CDS region of CLIP target genes in 10 species of mammals which are compared with human. (D) The observed proportions of CDS 6-mer sites that are conserved between human-mouse and human-zebrafish. The legend is shared by C and D.
