Preliminary evidence that the rRF profiles are tissue-dependent. Boxplots show the abundance of rRFs at each length for the 434 LCL samples, all 80 TCGA UVM samples, three replicates of 293T cells, and three replicates of 293T EV. Yellow boxes indicate the max y-axis values represented on each boxplot. The sequence that is common to all rRFs is shown underlined. Each rRF differs from its adjacent rRF by one nucleotide. a i-, 3′-, and x-rRFs produced from the 3′-end of the 5S rRNA transcript. b 5′-rRFs produced from the 28S rRNA transcript. The data values for the 5S and 28S rRFs for the three 293T cells and three 293T EV are in Additional file 4
