Small RNA Sequencing Reveals Differentially Expressed miRNAs in Necrotizing Enterocolitis in Rats

Figure 3

Target gene prediction and functional enrichment analyses of the DE miRNAs. (a) The Venn diagram shows the overlapping predicted target genes for DE miRNAs between the control group and the NEC group using miRanda and RNAhybrid algorithms. (b) Gene Ontology (GO) functional enrichment analysis for the predicted target genes of the DE miRNAs. The -axis shows the enrichment factor including gene numbers and -log₁₀( value), and the -axis represents the top 20 GO enrichment terms. (c) Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) functional enrichment analysis for the predicted target genes of the DE miRNAs. The horizontal axis refers to the number of genes and the vertical axis refers to the KEGG pathway terms. Node color: value.
