Counts of Illumina sRNA-seq reads from Cavendish banana plants infected with BBTV or BBTV and alphasatellite.

The 15–34 nt reads from each library were mapped without (A) or with (B) mismatches to the reference sequences of DRC-2016 alphasatellite and BBTV genome components (DNAs C, M, N, R, S, U3), sorted by size (15 nt, 16 nt, 17 nt, 18 nt, 19 nt, 20 nt, 21 nt, 22 nt, 23 nt, 24 nt, 25 nt, 26 nt, 27 nt, 28 nt, 29 nt, 30 nt, 31 nt, 32 nt, 33 nt, 34 nt, total 15–34 nt) and polarity (forward, reverse, total) and counted. The viral reads mapped without mismatches were then normalized per million of total reads (RPM) in each library (C) and also sorted by 5’-terminal nucleotide identity (5’A, 5’C, 5’G, 5’U) (D). (XLSX)
