  1. 1The total number of genome-mapped reads that aligned against any region of a pre-miRNA as defined by miRBase.
  2. 2The number of genome-mapped reads that aligned against a mature sequence of a miRNA from miRBase.
  3. 3The number of genome-mapped reads that aligned against the loop sequence (the region between the mature and star sequence) of a miRNA from miRBase.
  4. 4The number of genome-mapped reads aligned against the star sequence (the sequence that aligns to the mature sequence) of a miRNA from miRBase.
  5. 5Number of mature miRNAs detected by miRDeep2 against miRBase (using Ecdysozoa taxa as reference database) within the following parameters: number of mature read count > 10; number of star read count equal to or greater than 1; miRDepp2 score equal to or exceeding the cut-off of 1; “yes” in significant randfold p-value.
