Integrating miRNA and mRNA Expression Profiling Uncovers miRNAs Underlying Fat Deposition in Sheep

(a) Length distribution of the clean reads based on total abundance and distinct sequences. (b) Differential expression of miRNAs between the adipose tissues from KS and TS breed. Each point represents a single miRNA. The and axes show the expression level of miRNAs in these two samples, respectively. Red points represent miRNAs with a ratio > 2, blue points represent miRNAs with < ratio 2, and green points represent miRNAs with ratio 1/2; ratio = normalized expression in treatment/normalized expression in control.
