The p-values for all six species considered in this study attained highly significant values (human, Arabidopsis , Oryza and Drosohila (2.2 e-16); zebra fish (4.32 e-14) and C. elegans (2.34 e-14)), suggesting that co-existence of different pairing states in a mature miRNA duplex may work as a significant discriminatory property.
