From: Identification of phylogenetically conserved sequence motifs in microRNA 5' flanking sites from C. elegans and C. briggsae

Figure 2

Significant conserved motifs discovered from the miRNA regulatory region of C. elegans and C. briggsae. Presented is the total number of the motif instances in both regulatory region sequence sets and the number of miRNAs that contain the motif in their upstream region. The rightmost column shows the p-value of the motif calculated against random background sequences. Motif logos show the information content present at every position in the sequence, for example in the logo of motif GANNNNGA the G:s and A:s are certain, thus having the highest information content (2 bits) while in the positions 3 to 6 all four nucleotides have about the same frequencies and the information content in these positions is close to zero.
