Characterization and differential expression of microRNAs elicited by sulfur deprivation in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii

Table 1 Statistics of small RNA sequences from Chlamydomonas reinhardtii + S and -S libraries

Total reads: total sequenced reads; High quality: number of high quality reads with no N, no more than 4 bases whose quality score is lower than 10 and no more than 6 bases whose quality is lower than 13; Adaptor3 null: number of reads with no 3' adaptor; Insert null: number of reads with no insertion; Adaptor5 contaminants: number of 5' contaminants; Smaller than 18 nt: number of reads less than 18 nt. Generally, small RNA tags are between 18 ~ 30 nt long. So too short tags should be removed from data for future analysis; polyA: number of reads wih polyA; Clean reads: number of clean reads after adaptors and contaminants are removed which are used in the following analysis.
