Sexually dimorphic changes in exmiRNAs in response to PAE. Bootstrap resampling of exmiRNA expression at T2wk (left) and T6.5mo (right). The population including both male and female samples (gray) was resampled 2000 times with replacement and the proportion of significant p-values (ANCOVA with cigarettes/day as a covariate) across the iterations is shown. The population was then resampled with only male (blue) or only female (red) infants. exmiRNAs that were more likely to be significantly altered when examined in a single sex than in the combined population are in the yellow region and are likely to be altered in a sex-specific manner in response to PAE.
