Expression of known placentally-expressed miRNAs. All reads are per million. (a) The expression of 7 miRNAs known to be associated with placental/pregnancy disorders, where the lighter coloured boxplots on the left are first trimester samples, and the darker colour boxplots are term samples. The thick horizontal line in the middle of each boxplot represents the median of the data (Quartile 2). The bottom box represents the first quartile (Q1) i.e., 25% of the data falls below this value, and the top box represents the third quartile (Q3), i.e., 75% of the data falls below this value. The total box represents the interquartile range (IQR), which is the middle 50% of the data (from Q1 to Q3). The vertical line extending from the middle of the boxplot represents the total spread of the data, with outliers as independent points. (b) Combined expression of the 89 C14MC, 59 C19MC, and 8 miR-371-3 cluster miRNAs in first trimester and term samples in the different cell types and matched whole villi.
