Figure 5

Comparison between results from the microarray and Northern blots. The Northern blots in Figure 4 were quantitated by the Personal Molecular Imager^® FX and normalized to U6. Y axes represent the normalized intensities in the Northern blots or the normalized ratios in the microarrays divided by the average of those from 6 organs. The microarray data shown are means ± S.E. from 8 hybridizations. (a) lung-specific miRNAs; (b) kidney-specific miRNAs; (c) co-expressed miRNAs in the lung and heart identified by HSD; (d) miRNAs highly expressed in the lung and/or the heart. (e) commonly expressed miRNAs.
