Production of YicV-specific small RNAs in YicV/DeziV/DaesV acutely infected Aag2 (Aedes aegypti) cells. Cells were infected with the DaesV/DeziV/YicV mix and total RNA was isolated at 24 h post infection. a The absolute frequency of sRNAs ranging in length from 18 to 31 nt that were mapped to the virus genome/antigenome. b The distribution of 21-nt-long sRNA to the indicated virus genome/antigenome. c The distribution of 26- to 30-nt-long sRNAs (piRNA-sized) to the virus genome/antigenome. Positive values (green) represent sense reads, negative values (purple) represent antisense reads. Y-scale values give the read counts, with the scale values mentioned above the graph. Results of two independent experiments are shown (I and II). DaesV, Daeseongdong virus; DeziV, Dezidougou virus; nt, nucleotide; sRNAs, small RNAs; YicV, Yichang virus
