Figure Lengend Snippet: Volcano plots showing the mature miRNAs differentially expressed in the TraxE126A mutants compared to wildtype littermates as identified by (A) miRNA sequencing and (B) miRNA microarray. Volcano plots showing the differentially expressed small RNA species identified using microarray analysis including (C) Precursor miRNAs (pre-miRNAs), (D) Small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs), (E) mature tRNAs and (F) tRNA-derived small RNAs (tsRNAs). In all the plots, the upregulated and downregulated miRNAs (false discovery rate, FDR <0.050 and log 2 fold change ≥0.200) are highlighted in red and blue, respectively. (TraxE126A, n=4; WT, n=5, all males). Largest changes were seen in tsRNA levels (majority are 5’-fragments) and mature miRNAs.
Article Snippet: The labeled RNA species are then hybridized onto Arraystar Small RNA Expression Microarray (8×15K format), scanned by an Agilent G2505C scanner followed by data processing and analysis.
