Location bias of predicted miRNA target sites in UTRs. Distribution of predicted miRNA target sites in the 3'UTRs. Each predicted miRNA target site is represented by a dot with the x-coordinate corresponding to the length of the associated 3'UTR and the y-coordinate corresponding to the localization of the site within the 3'UTR normalized from 0(start) to 1(end). Gaussian kernels around all the dots were used to create a smooth interpolating density surface. Since the general UTR length distribution is not uniform, we normalized the vertical slices through the 2-D density surface p(x, y) at each x-coordinate to obtain p(y|x).
