Fig 7. Determination of the relative expression levels of the mature products arising from representative miRNA precursors within the epididymis.

Next generation sequencing revealed the relative expression levels of the two mature products arising from each miRNA precursor within the epididymis. Where products arising from both the 5′ and 3′ arm of a precursor mir hairpin were detected, one form generally dominated the expression profile throughout each epididymal region.
