^a Coordinate of the 5' end of sRNA (determined by 5'-RACE).

^b Coordinate of the 3' end of sRNA (determined by 3'-RACE).

^c The orientation of the sRNA and its flanking genes (in order of gene numbers). ">" designates a gene encoded on the coding strand and "<" designates a gene encoded on the non-coding strand.
