Translation Efficiency in Upstream Region of microRNA Targets in Arabidopsis thaliana

With respect to upstream regions of microRNA (miRNA) target sites located in protein coding sequences, experimental studies have suggested rare codons, rather than frequent codons, are important for miRNA function, because they slow down the local translational process. But, whether there is a trend...
