Figure 3.

Regarding the 11 isolated miRNAs distinguished in schizophrenia, this figure shows the distances (numbers of bases) from shared 5' motifs we discovered (two 8 nt and two 12 nt motif sequences in the pri-miRNA) to the ssRNA-dsRNA junctions at starts of pre-miRNAs. Pre-miR-30a and -9-1 have double motif instances; second instances are in the rectangle. Ignoring the second instances as redundant leaves some motif distances in sharp clusters.
