Figure 4: Conserved NR4A3 3′UTR is a potential region for microRNA integration.

a, zPicture alignment of 3′ portion of zebra finch to human gene35 showing UTR region of high similarity beyond the coding exons. Dark red bars, regions with the highest sequence conservation; black rectangles, position of song-regulated ESTs27 within the conserved UTR but outside the Ensembl gene model (ENSTGUG00000008853). b, Alignment of zebra finch and human 3′ UTR sequences showing the per cent sequence identity for each evolutionarily conserved region. Dots indicate positions of conserved new (‘n-’) or established (‘miR-’) microRNA-binding sites in both species within these regions.
