FIGURE 1.

Volcano plot of differentially expressed miRNA in the IFG (A) and STG (B). log2(fold change) is plotted against -log10(p-value), where p-value is from differential miRNA expression test. The vertical dash line represents fold change of 1.2, while the horizontal dash line represents the p-value threshold for FDR < 0.05. The red dots denote miRNAs that meet both FC ≥ 1.2 and FDR < 0.05 criteria, while light blue dots meet FDR < 0.05 but not FC ≥ 1.2, and green dots meet FC ≥ 1.2 but not FDR < 0.05 criteria.
