Distribution of pre-miRs containing TFBS (z-score ≥ 2.33) relative to nearby downstream genes.

pre-miRs containing TFBS

pre-miRs lacking TFBS


pre-miRs is upstream

Pre-miRs containing TFBS are more likely to reside ≤ 5 kb upstream of nearby genes, and pre-miRs that lie upstream of nearby genes are more likely to contain TFBS (χ2 = 7.109, p = 0.008).
