  1. Table 2. The column “Up in T1 or T2” refers to all differentially and uniquely expressed small RNAs that are significantly (FDR < 0.01, FC > 5) upregulated in one tissue relative to the other (number upregulated in tissue 1, number upregulated in tissue 2). The column “Unique in T1 or T2” refers to the uniquely expressed small RNAs that are found only in one tissue and not in the other.
