Figure 2

Selecting PMA-induced miRNAs. The figure illustrates for all measured time-points after PMA induction the log₂ fc of the averaged expression set for all 187 selected mature miRNAs (black dots). Each dot represents a log₂ fc of a single miRNA at the considered time point relative to the zero time point. The red dashed lines mark the log₂ fc of 1 and -1 that are utilised as a cut-off for miRNAs (see main text). The figure shows in addition the mean (blue dot) and the standard deviation of all log₂ fc values from the 187 miRNAs at the considered time point (blue error bars). Grey dashed lines indicate individual miRNA expression series. The figure shows that the majority of the miRNA expression does not change significantly over time and is confined within the selected threshold values.
