Variation of miRNA expression in single cells. Expression levels of 6 miRNAs and 2 sno-RNAs in 20 single cells are plotted for four sorted populations including GMPs—a population of functionally homogeneous cells; CD45⁺CD48⁺—cells that include many cell types; CD45⁺EPCR⁺CD150⁺CD48⁻ cells (ES150⁺)—a population of stem cells of which a high proportion show durable self-renewal abilities; and CD45⁺EPCR⁺CD150⁻CD48⁻ (ES150⁻) cells—a population of stem cells of which a high proportion show finite self-renewal abilities. All data are plotted as a log-fold ratio to the average of the population. Two NTC samples are shown on the right side of each graph.
