Lower expression of genes near microRNA in C. elegans germline

BMC Bioinformatics

Table 2 Relationship between the expression level and the number of seed pairings in the distance range of 5 kb. Each dataset was divided into two groups according to the normalized average of the 10 kb window.

	Normalized expression level
	Kim data		germline data
	low	high	low	high
splieced mRNA	0.87 ± 0.14 (17)	0.93 ± 0.09 (2)	0.67 ± 0.20 (19)	1.12 ± 0.15 (3)
unspliced mRNA	0.85 ± 0.11 (29)	1.02 ± 0.14 (7)	0.70 ± 0.20 (32)	1.09 ± 0.16 (7)

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.
