RNA Sequencing Reveals the Differentially Expressed circRNAs between Stable and Unstable Carotid Atherosclerotic Plaques

Figure 1

Profiles of circRNAs and their differential expressions comparing stable and unstable plaques. (a) The histogram displays 342 differentially expressed upregulated circRNAs and 2 downregulated circRNAs in unstable plaques, as compared with those of stable plaques. (b) The volcano plot shows the differentially expressed (DE) circRNAs in unstable plaques. The horizontal dashed-dotted line shows the adjusted value of 0.05, and the vertical dashed-dotted lines represent the twofold change in genes. For the unstable plaques, upregulated circRNAs are indicated by red points, and downregulated circRNAs are displayed as blue points.
