miRNA diversity. a The number of different miRNAs detected (≥ 2 reads) from an equal number of reads mapped to miRNAs (550,000). Error bars show standard error of the mean (n = 6), significance determined by applying Friedman test and Dunn’s Multiple Comparison test. b Number of reads mapping to the 10 most highly expressed miRNAs in each RNA extraction/library preparation combination. c Read distribution of the 20 most highly represented miRNAs from each RNA extraction/library preparation combination. * p < 0.05 ***p < 0.001 where no p-value shown there was no significance
