Heat map of signal intensities from miRNAs that were similarly identified by both types of labelling techniques.(†) Represents miRNAs that are no longer listed in the miRNA registry however present on the custom microarray. (‡) Represents miRNA-like elements from references 41 and 47. We scored TaqMan detected miRNA probes as present using the following criteria. Ath-miR-159a, cel-lin-4, and cel-miR-2 were used as the negative controls (Ct ~30–35). The Ct values used to determine +, ++, +++ expression patterns are as follows: +++ – 15–18; ++ – 18 – 21; + – 21–27;
