Figure 3

Notched boxplot [ 45 ] of the half-lives of mRNAs with motifs in their 5′UTR. The distribution of mRNA half-life for the entire mRNA population “All” (1937 experimentally determined 5′UTR sequences of length between 1 and 100 nucleotides) is compared with those for subpopulations of mRNAs with 5′UTRs including the “CUGGC” (blue) (#243) or “AGGAG” (red) (#319) motifs, at growth rates of μ = 0.10, 0.20, 0.40 and 0.63 h−1. The box shows the interquartile range of the data, whereas the notch indicates the 95% confidence interval around the median. If the intervals of two groups do not overlap, their medians can be assumed to be different with 95% confidence.
