Fig. 1From: ImiRP: a computational approach to microRNA target site mutationThe problem associated with miRNA target site mutagenesis. A wild type 3’UTR sequence contains a predicted 7mer-m8 target site for miR-7 (green). Mutation disrupts the interaction between miR-7 and its predicted target site, but creates an illegitimate 7mer-m8 target site for miR-296-3p in the process (red)Back to article page
