Fig. 1. Vertebrate miRNAs are abundant in Ae. aegypti after blood feeding.

Fig. 1

Examples of reads of different miRNAs in deep sequencing data from a the fat body of Ae. aegypti mosquitoes fed on chicken blood23, and b Ae. aegypti whole body fed on mouse blood24. miRNAs with prefix aae, mmu, and gga represent miRNAs from Ae. aegypti, mouse, and chicken, respectively. c Analysis of small RNA-Seq data revealed the presence of the top five most abundant human miRNAs in the dissected fat body of mosquitoes after blood feeding with the peak of abundance at 6 h after blood feeding. Each dot point represents the average of three biological replicates. aae-miR-275 is included as an endogenous Ae. aegypti miRNA for comparison.
