miRNA-mRNA expression correlation. a. Density plot of Pearson correlations for the combination of all oyster genes vs. all miRNA (black line), for all the miRNA-mRNA interactions predicted by miranda (red dotted line) and for the predicted interactions involving DE-miRNAs (blue line). b. Proportion of strong correlations for predicted miRNA-mRNA interactions (green bars correspond to the five miRNAs with the highest number of interactions)
