miRNA arm switching events detected and ranked in Nile tilapia. The miRNA 5p and 3p expression prevalence in each sample is represented by normalized fold change rates. Rates were normalized by the difference between the miRNA fold change from each sample and the mean of miRNA fold change of samples to collapse the series curves aiming at the improvement of data visualization. The 5p and 3p variations were ranked among samples organized from the greatest (prevalent 5p) to the smallest (prevalent 3p) fold rates per each pre-miRNA. The pre-miRNAs were also ranked from the greatest to the smallest distance between max and min fold change among samples (from dark to light blue series).
