Figure 4From: MicroRNA expression profiling during the life cycle of the silkworm (Bombyx mori)Northern blotting analysis of miRNA expression during the larval stages. (A) Northern blotting analysis of miRNAs during the early larval stages. (B) Northern blotting analysis of miRNAs during the late larval stages (C) A number of miRNAs displayed sex-dependent differences in expression at day 3 and day 7 fifth instar larval stages. 5srRNA and U6 served as the loading controls.Back to article page
