  1. Abbreviation: ref., reference.
  2. Only pathways with Bonferroni-corrected P<0.005 are listed. Pathways listed in bold type are unique to the candidate miRNA list (not overlapping in the control miRNA list, Supplementary Table 3).
  3. ‘+’ indicates that pathways are overrepresented in the analyzed miRNA target gene list compared with the ‘ref.’ Homo sapiens gene list. ‘−’ indicates that pathways are underrepresented.
