Each pair of artificial miRNA and 3′ UTR reporter (PC, GLS or GAPDH) was classified by whether that miRNA had a canonical, bulge or no seed match in the 3′ UTR of the reporter. For each seed match category, the miRNA / reporter pairs were further classified by whether the miRNA significantly repressed the reporter luciferase activity. The significance of the association between seed match category and reporter repression was calculated using Fisher's exact test for all pairs of seed match categories.
