Annotation of small non-coding RNAs from the four life stage libraries of An. sinensis. a An. sinensis embryo library (ASE), b An. sinensis lave library (ASL), c An. sinensis pupa library (ASP). d An. sinensis adult library (ASA). The total reads can be divided into 12 categories; exon−, exon+, intron−, intron+, known miRNA, novel miRNA, others, repeat, rRNA, snoRNA, snRNA and tRNA. The others referred to the other class of small non-coding RNAs and the reads not aligned to RNA families’ database
