Sequencing statistics

	L. donovani library	L. braziliensis library
Total paired reads	1435277	1062571
Collapsed/unique reads	688524	538034
Unique and single copy	574049	421086

Numbers of reads for L. donovani and L. braziliensis exosome RNA libraries as obtained by high-throughput sequencing. Reads were combined into unique reads by collapsing all identical reads to one read for downstream analysis. This also revealed the number of reads that were present in the dataset as a single copy.
