Table 2. Statistical analysis of small RNA Sequencing in the Triploid Edible Banana (Musa sp. AAA).

We obtained 10,182,201 reads from deep sequencing of the small RNA transcriptome of triploid edible banana leaves. After filtering out unusable reads (e.g., low quality reads, 3′ adaptor null reads and insert null reads), 9,703,596 reads were usable.
