aThe average frequency of sequenced signatures matching different type RNAs.

bThe average hit numbers on the chromosomes of signatures.

The mean hits of ‘other small RNAs’ and total small RNAs are not calculated as some signatures without hit on the genome, which are indicated as ‘–.’ Numbers in brackets indicate the percentage of the distinct signatures or total signatures.
