The trans-encoded sRNA gene distribution in Synechocystis. a Venn diagram of trans-encoded sRNA inventories identified in this study and previous studies—Study A [9], Study B [10], and Study C [11]—using different technical platforms. b Pie chart showing the number of trans-encoded sRNAs identified in this study belonging to different categories: Nr, potential sRNAs identified by BLAST search in non-redundant protein sequence database with E value <1e −10; ORF, potential sRNAs with an open reading frame; Repeat, IS: potential sRNAs located in genome-interspersed repeat region or identified as an insert sequence; ncRNA (Rfam), sRNAs identified in conserved non-coding RNA family in Rfam database
