  1. The table was generated from a comparison of miRNA expression in livers from male and female rats, using microarrays (as described in the materials and methods section). miRNAs showing at least 1.5 fold sex-differences in expression levels, with a q-value (false discovery rate) less than 10%, were considered to be significantly sex-different. The data is presented as the ratio between female and male expression levels. A p-value is included comparing the overall ratio to a value of 1.0, using student's t-test.
