	miRNAs that showed increased expression after exposure to graphene oxide (GO)	The dysregulated expression of miRNAs in GO-exposed nematodes was analyzed by DESeq (an R package, a powerful tool to estimate the variance and test for differential expression). The data were extracted as up- or down-regulated miRNAs according to a cutoff of 2 fold change, and were presented in the scatter diagram after normalization.

Bacteria infection: Pseudomonas aeruginosa PA14. 24 hours of exposure.	Small RNAs (21-26nt) that showed significantly increased expression after L4 animals were exposed to P .aeruginosa strain PA14 for 24 hours.	DESeq2, FDR < 0.05	WBPaper00056868:P.aeruginosa_upregulated_smallRNA
	Transcripts that showed significantly decreased expression in ogt-1(ok1474) neuronal cells isolated by FACs comparing to in FACs isolated neuronal cells from wild type.	DESeq2, fold change > 2, FDR < 0.05.	WBPaper00066485:ogt-1(ok1474)_downregulated_neuron
	Potental DAF-12 target genes identified by ChIP-chip analysis performed on strain ALF4 [daf-12	Affymetrix TAS software that computed for each probe estimates of fold enrichment (in linear scale) over hybridization with input DNA. At the same time, TAS calculated for each probe a p-value by applying a Wilcoxon signed rank test. A threshold of 2.5 was selected, which corresponds to probe intensities approximately 2.5 times stronger on the ChIP array than on the Input array. Additional TAS threshold parameters were MinRun=180 bp, MaxGap=300 bp. TAS analysis showed that the selected threshold of 2.5 corresponds approximately to a p-value of 0.01.

	miRNA that showed decreased expression after 20mM nicotine treatment	Statistical analysis was based on t-test for independent samples via SPSS. The results were further narrowed based on two criteria. Only the genes whose expression changed with a P < 0.05 and a fold change > 0.5, when compared to control, were considered as differentially expressed. Fold change was calculated as 2**(DeltaCt(treatment)-DeltaCt(control))-1. DeltaCt = Ct(miRNA)-Ct(aveMRNA).	WBPaper00042480:20mM_nicotine_downregulated
