Note: total_reads: total sequenced reads, which is required to be greater than 5 M in general; high_quality: number of high quality reads with no N, no more than 4 bases whose quality score was lower than 10 and no more than 6 bases whose quality score was lower than 13; 3'adaptor_null: number of reads with no 3'adaptor; insert_null: number of reads with no insertion; 5'adaptor_contaminants: number of 5'contaminants; smaller_than_18nt: number of reads less than 18 nt generally. Small RNA tags were between 18 and 30 nt long, so too short tags should be removed from data for further analysis; polyA: number of reads with polyA; clean_reads: number of clean reads after adaptors and contaminants were removed, which were used in the following analysis
