Role of SNPs in the Biogenesis of Mature miRNAs

Figure 3

The calculation method for variation position of plus strand and trans strand. The distance between SNP and start (or end) site of pre-miRNA with smaller value was calculated based on coordinate. For the trans strand, the distance represents the length between substitutive position of nucleotide and the end nucleotide of pre-miRNA. For the plus strand, the distance represents the length between substitutive position of nucleotide and the start nucleotide of pre-miRNA.
