Lower expression of genes near microRNA in C. elegans germline

BMC Bioinformatics

Table 1 Relationship between the expression level and the number of seed pairings in the distance range of 5 kb (the whole dataset).

	Normalized expression level
	Kim data	germline data
splieced mRNA	0.88 ± 0.03 (19)	0.78 ± 0.06 (19)
unspliced mRNA	0.90 ± 0.02 (36)	0.77 ± 0.04 (38)
upstream	0.95 ± 0.02 (53)	0.84 ± 0.05 (53)
downstream	0.92 ± 0.02 (59)	0.85 ± 0.0 4 (61)

The normalized expression level is represented in the form of average ± standard error. Each number in the parentheses denotes the number of genes with a seed pairing. It should be noted that some genes have multiple seed pairings in its mRNA form and upstream or/and downstream regions.
