Identification and characterization of circular RNAs in Angus bull testes. a Origin of circRNAs described in this study in the bovine genome. b Venn diagram depicting different circRNAs uncovered in neonatal and mature bovine testis tissue. 28,065 candidate circRNAs were identified, with 12,428 and 8,179 specific to the neonatal and mature libraries, respectively. c Differential expression analysis using DESeq2. The volcano plot shows the correlation of abundances of individual circRNAs in the neonatal or maturation period (P-adjust < 0.05). d Clustered heatmap of differentially expressed circRNAs (P-adjust < 0.05). e KEGG pathway for significantly differentially expressed circRNAs (P < 0.05). f GO terms for significantly differentially expressed circRNAs (corrected P-value < 0.05)
