Differential expression of sncRNAs across breeds. Number of sncRNA per class showing significant differential expression between pairs of breeds (adjusted p-value < 0.05). Many sequences were found to be differentially expressed between at least two breeds, whatever the sncRNA class. Interestingly, the Abondance and Monbeliarde breeds showed the highest number of differentially expressed sncRNAs, whatever the class and the breed comparison. In contrast, the Belgian Blue vs Charolais as well as the Holstein vs Normand comparisons yielded the lowest number of differentially expressed sncRNAs
