Significance of differential expression of top 5 miRNAs before and after undergoing a phase-shift.

miRNA	Differential expression (p-values)
	Pre-phase shift	Post-phase shift
hsa-miR-376c	9.97e-07	0.539
hsa-miR-27a	5.13e-08	0.573
hsa-miR-30e	2.93e-07	0.503
hsa-miR-194	4.62e-06	0.523
hsa-miR-9	1.34e-06	0.829

Pre-phase shift p-values indicate there was a significant difference in the expression of their trends while post-phase shift p-values indicate that the expression trends did not differ significantly, as noted from Fig. 5.
