Figure 2

Global expression changes of evolutionary conserved and novel tick-specific R. microplus miRNAs. A) Overlap of identified R. microplus miRNAs found in various life stages and those expressed in adult female tick organs. Values in parentheses correspond to novel tick-specific miRNAs. B) The normalized fraction of small RNA reads (RPM × 1000) overlapping all R. microplus miRNAs with known counterparts in other species or all novel tick-specific miRNAs are shown for each life cycle stage. E = eggs, L = larvae, FL = frustrated larvae, F = adult females and M = adult males, respectively. C) Fold-increment in the accumulation of miRNA transcripts in various tick life stages as compared to the egg sample normalized to 1. D) Unique and commonly expressed miRNAs among life stages. Values in parentheses correspond to novel tick-specific miRNAs.
