Difference of miRNAs cluster targets enrichment between female and male

Gender	Stages	Specific functional enrichments
Female	Cluster 1 (pairing stage)	Regulation of chemotaxis Leukocyte proliferation Cell junction organization Regulation of epithelial to mesenchymal transition
	Cluster 2 (developmental and mature stage)	Response to BMP (bone morphogenetic protein) Female pregnancy Spermatid differentiation Regulation of meiotic cell cycle
	Cluster 3 (egg production stage)	Nerve development Chemosensory behavior
Male	Cluster 1 (pairing stage)	Sex differentiation Meiotic nuclear division
	Cluster 2 (developmental and mature stage)	Regulation of immune effector process Regulation of cell growth Regulation of response to biotic stimulus
	Cluster 3 (egg production stage)	Cell communication by chemical coupling Regulation of cholesterol homeostasis Regulation of protein activation cascade Body morphogenesis
