a The distribution of differentially expressed genes in pituitary and hypothalamic tissues between low- and high-rate egg production chickens. b Validation of eight miRNA expression profile by qRT-PCR in pituitary and hypothalamic tissues of Jiuyuan black fowl. c, d The expression of randomly selected four miRNA-target pairs in the pituitary and hypothalamic tissues of Jiuyuan black fowl. The same color indicated the miRNA and its corresponding reciprocally expressed target genes. The expression of each miRNA was normalized to 5.8S rRNA and then transformed to a log 2 scale. The expression of each target gene was relative to GAPDH and also transformed to a log 2 scale. All four miRNA-target pairs showed significantly reciprocal expression patterns
