From: A hierarchy in clusters of cephalopod mRNA editing sites
Properties of medium-range clusters of editing sites. (A) Deviation of the editing probabilities of adenines located near editing sites (q(E)) from the respective expected probabilities (q0(E)) as dependent on the S* values. The colored stripes in the lower left corner represent the S* value ranges on which q(E) are significantly higher than q0(E) (p < 0.01, the χ2 contingency test, Bonferroni corrected) (B) Average base-pairing probabilities in the regions centered at editing sites in four coleoid species. The gray stripe marks the base pairing probability range in regions distant from editing sites (> 200 nt), considered as noise. The values above the noise (the central peak) describe the putative average RNA structure around editing sites; the width of the peak is the average size of the structure. The dip in the middle is caused by generally low base-pairing probabilities of edited adenines.
