Functional annotation of target genes of miRNAs. a) A Venn diagram of the number of targets common between RNAhybrid and miRanda tools based on sequence-matching methods. b) A Venn diagram of the number of the targets common for the sequence matching and expression correlation (WGCNA and Spearman correlation analysis) methods. A Venn diagram of the number of DEGs c) and DEMs d) shared by the members of the mRNA-miRNA pairs identified through the above methods. e) A summary of the identified mRNA-miRNA pairs.
