Differentially expressed miRNAs identified in early lactation (E) and late lactation (L) libraries. (A) The volcano diagram of differential expressed miRNAs in E and L libraries; blue dots represent miRNAs with no significant difference between two libraries, and red dots represent miRNAs with significant difference. (B) Venn diagram illustrating the distribution of 378 differential expressed miRNAs between E and L libraries, including 106 miRNAs with higher abundance and 272 miRNAs with lower abundance in E library compared to L library. The red circle shows the significant differentially expressed miRNAs in the E library, the blue circle shows the significant differentially expressed miRNAs in the L library, the cross section shows the co-expressed miRNAs, and the remaining molecules (yellow and blue) were specifically expressed miRNAs for the E and L libraries.
