Dear researchers, I am wondering why there are so many miRNA targets in coding sequence region rather than 3'UTR in an invertebrate model? According to previous reports, the target site should reside in 3'UTR region in invertebrates, but I have got different results. Could you please let me know what may be the possible reasons? I have used four miRNA target predicting tools (RNAhybrid, miRanda, PITA, and targetscan).
