Genes containing the hexamer of interest (A), or targeted by the miRNA of interest (C) are mapped on KEGG pathways and the most significantly overrepresented pathways can be identified by their corresponding p-values. doi: 10.1371/journal. pone.0009171.g004

The same hexamer can be shown multiple times if it can be mapped on more than one miRNAs.

-
In a more sophisticated approach, they used the Wilcoxon Rank Sum test to compare hexamer frequencies between deregulated and unchanged genes between the two conditions.

Another option provided by DIANA-mirExTra is the use of miRNA target prediction scores instead of hexamer frequencies on a 3′UTR.

Keeping the weight for the 'seed' hexamer constant at 1, we have determined that for a weight of hexamer 1 set to 0.6, no value of hexamer 3 will improve the identification of the correct miRNA.

The weight for hexamer 1 is on the Y axis, for hexamer 2 is held constant at a value of 1, and for hexamer 3 is on the X axis.
