Figure 3. Expression of selected miRs in hepatocellular carcinoma compared to normal tissues. Data are shown for miR-101, miR-137, miR-425, miR-487a and miR-1247. Data from 377 HCC samples and 50 normal liver samples derived from The Cancer Genome Atlas are shown. miR expression was quantified by RNA sequencing and is shown as log2 of randomized read counts. The red lines indicate lower versus higher expression. Expression data are shown as box plots. The line in the medium of the box represents the median value, the rectangles show the upper and lower 25% quartiles, and 50% of all data points are included in the greater rectangle. All of the data points, except for the outliers are located within the upper and lower whiskers.
