Figure 3
Graphic representation of iMir pipeline performances. Datasets obtained from smallRNA-Seq analysis in exponentially growing (sample A) or growth-arrested (sample B) MCF-7 cells, performed in triplicate as described in the text, were input in iMir and analyzed with the standard, complete analytical workflow of the tool. The processing time of each module are highlighted in yellow and the graphic outputs of Modules 1 (histograms showing sequence read length distribution in each replicate) and 5 (heat-map visualization of sncRNA profile differences among samples and pie-chart summarizing the results of the differential expression analysis) are shown to their right.
