Box and Whisker Plots Depicting Variability in MicroRNA Expression Levels. Within each box, the bottom border represents the 25th percentile, the center line represents the 50th percentile, and the upper border represents the 75th percentile. The lowest horizontal line represents the minimum, and the upper horizontal line represents the maximum. Small black circles represent outliers. Individual microRNAs are represented on the x-axis. Arbitrary florescence units (AU) are represented on the y-axis. Because the overall range of AU was large, subsets of microRNAs were grouped into panels. Panel A shows microRNAs with median AUs < 500. Panel B shows microRNAs with AUs between 500–1000. Panel C shows microRNAs with AUs > 1000
