Pairwise comparison results of the expression levels of piRNAs in the three libraries. Scatter plot of up- and downregulated piRNAs in a adult males and adult females and b sugar-fed adult females and blood-fed adult females. Each point represents a piRNA. The X axis and Y axis show the expression levels of piRNAs in two libraries. The red points indicate the more highly expressed piRNAs in the library on the X axis (adjusted P < 0.05), the blue points represent equally expressed piRNAs (adjusted P > 0.05), and the green points represent more highly expressed piRNAs in the library on the Y axis (adjusted P < 0.05). The relative expression levels of various piRNAs in c adult males and adult females and d sugar-fed adult females and blood-fed adult females. The X axis indicates the ranking of piRNA ID number of either 659 female-bias or 303 male-bias expression piRNAs (Additional file 13: Table S9) in c, whereas 522 blood-fed females higher expression piRNAs and 485 sugar-fed females higher expression piRNAs (Additional file 15: Table S11) in d; the Y axis shows the relative expression level (log2 ratio)
