List of 7-mers displaying conserved overrepresentation in 3' UTR regions. For each oligo we report the numbers m, N and n as defined in the Methods section and the significance of the overrepresentation expressed as – log10 of the P-value (before Bonferroni correction). We also list for each oligo the n human genes with a mouse ortholog in the corresponding mouse set, listing the Ensembl id, gene symbol, Entrez gene id and description.

Length distribution of 3' UTRs of the genes conserved instances of the 7-mers selected with the method of Ref [21]. The genes represented in red have at least one conserved instance of one of the 465 hightest-ranking 7-mers identified using the method introduced in [21]. The length distribution of their 3' UTRs is compared to the length distribution of all the genes in the dataset (green).
