Three independent shears were performed for each sample, and sequenced on three MiSeq paired-end runs. Merged paired-end sequences were analyzed. The table reports the total number of retroviral integration sites (RIS), the number and percentage of those potential RIS as they pass through alignment and inclusion filters, and the total number of aligned RIS and the total number of unique RIS.
