Fig. 1

a An example plot produced using miRdeep2 for the identification of a miRNA which was highly expressed in aestivation compared to other stages. The predicted RNA structure of the pre-miRNA and frequency of read counts corresponding to the mature (red), loop (orange) and passenger (purple) parts of the duplex are shown. DESeq2 analysis was conducted on miRNA identified and quantified using miRdeep2 in pre-aestivation (n = 3), aestivation (n = 4) and post-aestivation (n = 3) cabbage stem flea beetle females. b Differentially abundant miRNA in the comparison between aestivation and pre-aestivation. c Differentially abundant miRNA in the comparison between aestivation and post-aestivation. d Normalised expression count (mean ± SEM) of the example miRNA at three different life stages; pre-aestivation (pre), aestivation (aest) and post-aestivation (post).
