Expression patterns of differentially expressed mRNAs, lncRNAs and circRNAs in mid-segments of chicken small intestines infected with E. necatrix oocysts. a Hierarchical clustering plot showing the expression profiles of mRNAs. b Hierarchical clustering plot showing the expression profiles of lncRNAs. c Hierarchical clustering plot showing the expression profiles of circRNAs. In a–c, S1-S3 represent samples infected with E. necatrix oocysts and N1-N3 represent samples without infection. d Volcano plot showing the distributions of mRNAs. e Volcano plot showing the distributions of lncRNAs. f Volcano plot showing the distributions of circRNAs. In d–f, the significantly upregulated and downregulated mRNAs are presented as red and green dots, respectively, and the expression of mRNAs not significantly differentially expressed are presented as blue dots (FC > 2.0 and P-value < 0.05)
