Additional file 6: of Comprehensive assessment of multiple biases in small RNA sequencing reveals significant differences in the performance of widely used methods

Table S4..Statistics on percentages of reads mapping to different types of RNAs. Statistics are shown for the t-test comparisons of the percentages of reads mapping to each type of RNA for the data derived from the same human brain using 1000 ng of total RNA for each library preparation kit, using both batches. Percent difference is calculated as the percent difference of the first method in the comparison relative to the second, thus Clontech had 199% more snRNA mapped reads than Illumina. Percent difference was calculated using more precise means than the rounded means shown in the table. miRNA = microRNA, piRNA = PIWI interacting RNA, rRNA = ribosomal RNA, snoRNA = small nucleolar RNA, snRNA = small nuclear RNA, tRNA = transfer RNA. Significant findings are highlighted in yellow. (XLSX 42 kb)
