Heatmaps clustering of miRNAs expressed in the four life stage libraries of An. funestus. The clustering was performed on all known (a) and novel (b) miRNAs based on a raw read copy number (sequencing frequency) and the four life stage samples. Each row represents a stage and each column represents one miRNA. The miRNA clustering is shown on top. The colour scale (shown on the left) illustrates the number of the reads of a miRNA across the life stages
