Figure 2.

Comparison of vsiRNA and putative vpiRNA production from ISVs in reproductive tissues and carcasses of female or male Ae. albopictus mosquitoes. The size distribution of total small RNA reads from each sample is shown in (A). Normalized siRNA reads per one million (RPM) mapped reads to the AEFV, MERV or SHTV genome are shown in (B). Proportion of 26-30 nt AEFV-, MERV- or SHTV-derived small RNAs per 100 vsiRNAs is represented in (C). Yellow and blue bars represent positive- and negative-stranded reads, respectively.
