Boxplot of expression of two arms in arm switching miRNA biomarkers. The boxplot illustrates the expression distribution of two arms from the pre-miRNA in different sample types (tumour or tumour-adjacent), using the log of RPM plus 1. The products from different arms are distinguished by colour (red, miR-3p and blue, miR-5p). The significance level value is shown above the box plots (t-test, p-value). The tissue types are marked below the box plots (Normal (tumour-adjacent) and tumour). The y-axis represents the expression level of reads log (RPM + 1).
