Fig. 7 Sequence enrichments associated with regulatory rates of mRNA degradation.

Volcano plots for the enrichments of short sequences of length 3–8 bases (k-mers) based on difference between estimated parameters for genes that include this short sequence in their sequence and those that do not. Plots show the significance (y-axis, −log₁₀(p value), one-sided Kolmogorov-Smirnov FDR < 1%) and the effect size (x-axis, difference in the standard mean of each of the two distributions). Horizontal dashed line is 1% FDR, vertical dashed line is an absolute effect size of 0.13. A Enrichments in longest annotated 3′UTR for the maternal pseudo-half-life parameter (log₂). B Enrichments in longest annotated 3′UTR for the maternal degradation onset time parameter. C Enrichments in longest annotated 5′UTR for the maternal pseudo-half-life parameter (log₂). Colors represent density (yellow = high density; blue = low density). Dashed lines represent thresholds for significance. Top short sequences are noted on plots.
