Detection of blood plasma and ovarian fluid miRNAs in various organs and cell types. A PCA analysis of normalized RPM counts supplied by Prost! using all samples (N=52). PCA was centered but not scaled. Corresponding data are available in additional file 4. B The number of circulating miRNAs detected in all possible combinations of analyzed libraries is displayed. Libraries in which miRNAs were detected are indicated by a black dot. miRNAs were considered present in an organ or a fluid if their normalized abundance exceeded 10 RPM, on average, for each type of sample. The analysis was limited to the two biological fluids (blood plasma and ovarian fluid) and a subset of 13 different female organs displayed in Fig. 3
