Generation of Macula-like Latent Virus (MLV)-derived siRNAs in two stocks of Trichoplusia ni High Five cells. Length distribution of small RNAs mapping to the MLV in a stock of High Five cells persistently infected with MLV and induced with a CrPV infection (left); and in a stock of High Five cells persistently infected with MLV and the FHV (right). Reads (y axis): number of reads. Length (x axis): length (nt) of the reads. Black: sense reads. Green: antisense reads. To avoid degradation products and general contaminants, reads shorter than 18 nt and longer than 31 nt were not included. Mapping was performed with Bowtie2, and graphs were obtained with the viRome package in R.
