Fig. 3From: Expression characteristics of pineal miRNAs at ovine different reproductive stages and the identification of miRNAs targeting the AANAT geneOutline of differentially expressed miRNAs among different reproductive stages.a Number of differentially expressed (DE) miRNAs detected among three stages. DE miRNAs were identified with the edgeR software package (version: 3.12). b Dendrogram of hierarchical clustering of expressed miRNAs among three reproductive stages. The clustering analysis was performed by pheatmap (v1.0.2). c Venn diagram showing the overlap of differentially expressed miRNAs among three comparisons (A vs. L; L vs. F; A vs. F). d Pathways in which the target genes of differentially expressed miRNAs between anestrus and the breeding season were mainly enriched. The color of the circle represents the P value at which a certain pathway is enriched. X axis: number of differentially expressed genes in the specific KEGG pathway. The KEGG pathways were analyzed by clusterProfiler package (v3.16.0)Back to article page
