From: A hierarchy in clusters of cephalopod mRNA editing sites
Long-range editing site clusters. (A) Distribution of S distances for O. vulgaris. The real editing site set (red histogram) vs. randomly selected adenines (grey histogram), see the text for details. The red line is the plot of dependence between the real and the randomly obtained S values in arrays sorted by the distance S. The grey diagonal represents the expected dependence form y = x. Grey stripes represent the boundary of the possible span of regions affecting editing sites13,28. PDF—probability density function. (B) Distributions of the \({r}^{^{\prime}}\left({A}_{i},{A}_{j}\right)\) values calculated for the structurally close editing sites (red boxes) and for the control site pairs with no predicted secondary RNA structure between the sites in a pair (grey boxes) (see the text for details). Asterisks mark statistical significance of differences of means calculated using the Mann–Whitney U-test with the Bonferroni correction for binning. Two asterisks indicate p < 0.01; one asterisk, p < 0.05, NS, not significant.
