Global work chart of identification of potential circulating miRNAs for measuring chicken puberty onset.
BO, before puberty onset; AO, after puberty onset.
Fig 2.
Frequency distribution of the sequence lengths in serum and plasma.
The X axis shows sequence size. The Y axis shows the percents of sequence lengths. The majority of sequences for both libraries were 20nt ~ 24nt. BO, before puberty onset; AO, after puberty onset.

The differentially expressed serum-miRNAs with more than two fold-changes between BO and AO.
Fig 3.
Relative expression changes of 9 candidate serum-miRNAs in different stages.
Bars show standard deviations for replicates (n = 6).
