From: Small RNAs derived from tRNAs and rRNAs are highly enriched in exosomes from both old and new world Leishmania providing evidence for conserved exosomal RNA Packaging

Figure 3

Sequencing of leishmania exosomal RNA reveals conserved RNA cargo composed mainly of sequences derived from non-coding RNA. Exosome RNA from L. donovani and L. braziliensis was purified and processed for high-throughput sequencing as described in Methods. A. Sequence length distribution of reads obtained from sequencing L. donovani and L. braziliensis exosome libraries, B. Categorization of reads according to their alignment with genomic features annotated in the L. donovani and L. braziliensis reference genomes. CDS, coding sequence; *SL RNA, spliced leader RNA. Numbers for reads mapping to SL RNA genes were obtained from alignment with the L. major reference genome, as these genes have currently only been annotated in this genome.
