Fig. 1.

Characteristics of differentially-expressed genes (DEGs). (A) Unsupervised clustering analysis of DE micro RNAs (miRNAs). Red dots indicate significantly up-regulated miRNAs, green dots indicate significantly down-regulated miRNAs. (B) Volcano plots of miRNAs. Red dots indicate up-regulated DEmiRNAs, green dots indicate down-regulated DEmiRNAs, black dots indicate non-differentially expressed miRNAs (C) Unsupervised clustering analysis of the DE messenger RNAs (mRNAs). Red dots indicate significantly up-regulated mRNAs, green dots indicate significantly down-regulated mRNAs. (D) Volcano plots of mRNAs. Red dots indicate up-regulated DEmRNAs, green dots indicate down-regulated DEmRNAs, black dots indicate non-differentially expressed mRNAs. .
