List of publicly available T. castaneum small RNA datasets representing different developmental stages

ID	Sample	Transcription
GSM1556886	Oocyte small RNA replicate 1	Maternal
GSM1556887	Oocyte small RNA replicate 2	Maternal
GSM1556888	Embryo small RNA 0–5 h replicate 1	Maternal
GSM1556889	Embryo small RNA 0–5 h replicate 2	Maternal
GSM1556890	Embryo small RNA 8–16 h	Zygotic
GSM1556891	Embryo small RNA 16–20 h	Zygotic
GSM1556892	Embryo small RNA 20–24 h	Zygotic
GSM1556893	Embryo small RNA 24–34 h	Zygotic
GSM1556894	Embryo small RNA 34–48 h	Zygotic
GSM1556895	Embryo small RNA 48–144 h	Zygotic

After ~5 h, the maternal transcription phase ends and zygotic transcription commences [15]
