Fig. 2From: Systematic miRNome profiling reveals differential microRNAs in transgenic maize metabolismAlignment of sRNA reads with the Zea mays reference genome. a Size distribution (18–26 nt) of sRNA reads for each of the varieties analysed; b venn diagram showing the number of conserved miRNAs identified in each variety; c distribution of the identified conserved miRNAs along maize miRNA families for each of the analysed varieties; d heatmap of the normalized read count (NRC) for each of the conserved miRNA families in the analysed varieties. The NRC values were log10 transformed for better visualizationBack to article page
