PVY-derived vsiRNAs interaction with potato ncRNA transcripts

S.No	sRNA library	Total targets in potato ncRNA transcripts	No. of unique targeting vsiRNAs	No. of unique target ncRNA transcripts
1	PVY-N	2567	825	563
2	PVY-NTN	1632	870	401
3	PVY-O	2437	694	485

High copy number (>50 copies) virus-derived small interfering RNAs (vsiRNAs) of small RNA (sRNA) libraries of Potato virus Y (PVY) strains, tobacco veinal-necrotic strain (PVY-N), necrosis tuber-necrotic strain (PVY-NTN) and ordinary strain (PVY-O) in potato cv. Russet Burbank, were used as query to predict their cross reacting potential with potato ncRNA transcripts using psRNATarget algorithm under default settings
