Heatmaps clustering of miRNAs expressed in the four life stage libraries of An. sinensis. The clustering was performed on all known (a) and novel (b) miRNAs based on TPM (tags per million) and the four life stage samples. Each row represents one miRNA and each column represents a stage. The color scale (shown on the left) illustrates the number of the reads of a miRNA across the life stages
