Table 2.
Abundance of miRNA targets in the common nodes that locate in the shortest paths of all five cellular machines
| Cellular machines | Transcription | Translation | Secretion apparatus | Motility | Electrical response |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Number of nodes | 142 | 94 | 115 | 161 | 130 |
| Number of overlapped nodes | 70 | ||||
| Number of miRNA targets | 10 | ||||
| P-value | <2 × 10−4 | ||||
Note: The input nodes (receptors) and output nodes of cellular machines were not counted. The P-value was given by comparing the abundance of miRNA targets of the common nodes to that of miRNA targets (0.294) in the network using a randomization test.
