We further investigated the potential for duplexed structures of sense and antisense vsRNAs from HCVrep, by comparing sequence placement for sense and antisense vsRNAs within the viral genome. Although RNA does not serve as the hereditary information in most cells, RNA does hold this function for many viruses that do not contain DNA. Yes Yes However, their mutation rates are almost disastrously high, and a small increase in mutation rate can cause RNA viruses to go locally extinct. Only positions that had an incidence of > = 2 starts/ends were mapped. vsRNA coincidence plots show high degree of similarity between independent amplicon libraries from the same starting sample, and reproducible detection of hotspots. We also observed specific changes in cell-derived miRNA populations, providing a clear indication of host perturbation by the virus. Interestingly, we observed a modest increase in vsRNA/miRNA ratio, using a cloning protocol that allows any number of 5′ phosphates (5′-P-IND protocol). 6; Fig. While majority of vsRNAs (99.97%) shared perfect homology only with the genome of the infecting virus, we detected a small percent of sRNAs (0.033%) that mapped to both the viral and the host genomes, confounding the source of their origin, and making their classification as ‘vsRNAs’ difficult (Table S3, S4). Much work still remains to be done in designing siRNA duplexes such that the most accessible strand of the virus may be successfully targeted by siRNAs. Primary monocyte-derived dendritic cells (MDDCs) were infected at an MOI of 2 and harvested 4 and 24 h.p.i [111]. v/miR). Since viral genomic RNAs and mRNAs are abundant in infected cells, we would certainly expect degraded derivatives to contribute to sequenced pools. Eukaryotes and archaea. For determining the effect of IFN-α on the production of vsRNAs, RP7 cells were treated with low (5U/mL) or high (100 U/mL) IFN-α concentrations for 72 hours pre-harvest. vsRNAs with 5′ monophosphates from Vesicular Stomatitis virus infections in: (S17B) BHK-21 cells, harvested 4 h.p.i (Sample: 454-179); (S17C) HeLa cells, harvested 4 h.p.i (Sample: 454-181). X-axis: range of overhangs (+24 to −24); Y-axis: percent of duplexes that fall into each overhang category. Nucleotide frequencies have been normalized to the overall nucleotide composition within each dataset. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.ppat.1000764.s006. This potentially creates favorable conditions either for intramolecular base pairing within a vsRNA, or for base pairing between overlapping sense-antisense vsRNA pairs at their termini. Stanford Genome Technology Center, Stanford University School of Medicine, Stanford, California, United States of America, Current address: Dept. Both procedures require a 3′ end that can ligate to a pre-adenylated linker, and allow for the capture of 3′-OH and 2′-O-Methyl structures but not 3′ phosphate termini, thus minimizing the extent of capture of degradation products (many of which have 3′ mono-phosphate termini). In C. elegans, FHV-derived vsRNAs exist as both primary (5′-P) and secondary (5′-xP) populations, with 5′-xP vsRNAs exhibiting more of a bias toward the antisense (or negative) orientation. Mammals have the necessary protein components to generate these viral-derived … Supporting text containing supplementary results, methods and references, https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.ppat.1000764.s001. Each filled box represents one instance of a captured vsRNA, with the lengths of the boxes proportional to the lengths of the vsRNAs. Two different vsRNA capture and library production schemes were used to enrich for Dicer products or for RdRP products, both of which have structures distinct from those of RNA fragments generated by alkali-induced degradation. We compared RNA populations from each of the four Argonaute IPs to RNAs from the Mock-IP (i.e. Is the Subject Area "Small interfering RNA" applicable to this article? For West Nile and Dengue Viruses, because of poor coverage, only four and two vsRNAs (respectively) are shown. Also consistent with this model is the shift observed in comparing strand ratios from rde-1−/− and wild type hosts (Fig. vsRNAs derived from positive strand viral RNAs were detected by RNase protection using a radiolabeled probe specific to the 5′ end of the VSV-N gene. For the Polio, VSV, West Nile and Dengue (Fig. (S11A) Coincidences are defined by vsRNAs of the same orientation, with the same Start and End positions. The action of Dicer alone (in producing vsRNAs) is not sufficient to halt virus replication, as has been shown in Drosophila [82],[83],[84]. a de-enrichment for overlapping sets of sense and antisense vsRNAs) in the Argonaute complexes (Fig. 2B). We speculate that miR-125b may be one of the regulators of the TNF-α response during viral infection, and that regulation of miR-125b may require an intact IFN response. (6D) Lagging overhangs are computed as: End position of antisense vsRNA – Start position of sense vsRNA; Leading overhangs are computed as: Start position of antisense vsRNA – End position of sense vsRNA. (S3A) Sequence count: all RNAs, miRNAs, vsRNAs (Y-axis: log scale). https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.ppat.1000764.s021, https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.ppat.1000764.s022. vsRNAs from the positive and negative strands are shaded black and red respectively. These data suggest that HCVrep cell lysates have populations of duplexed (and some single-stranded) vsRNAs, with only a single strand of each duplex reproducibly incorporated into an Ago complex. 2C). Upon examining small RNA populations from ∼150 samples with sample-specific DNA barcodes, we found viral-derived small RNAs (vsRNAs) from each virus, with vsRNA populations sensitive to both viral and host characteristics. From this initial survey, we made a choice of a single host-virus system in which to further investigate vsRNA biogenesis. In Drosophila and mammals, the primary RNAi pathway has been definitively identified as having 5′-monophosphorylated RNAi effectors that are generated by Dicer, and that subsequently associate with RISC [76],[77],[78]. Only those miRNAs that exhibited a > = 2-fold, and a statistically significant upregulation or downregulation (i.e. In particular, any population of larger RNAs, on extraction and experimental manipulation, can yield a sub-population of RNAs in every size range, including the miRNA and siRNA size range of 19–30 nt. v/miR levels of 5′-P vsRNAs from replicon cells varied between 0.03 and 0.14 (Fig. As expected, virus-derived siRNAs (vsRNAs) can be detected in some plant and invertebrate systems that are capable of mounting a successful/partially successful RNAi response [15],[16],[17]. 1, Table S3). Given no knowledge of which virus type might engage the RNAi machinery, and which cell types might efficiently use this machinery in defense, we cast a wide net in terms of both virus families and host cells. We expanded on this work by choosing two cell-culture-based systems that are used for studying HCV replication: an HCC cell line (Huh7) harboring a subgenomic replicon of genotype 1b [55], and an infectious virion system (Huh7.5 cells infected with tissue-culture-produced virions of genotype 2a [58]). From this we identified 19 novel RNA viruses belonging to 12 families, as well as 1 previously described RNA virus.

Cells were then re-infected with a retrovirus that expresses Cre recombinase and confers puromycin resistance. miRNAs). We note that animal systems with PIWI proteins (vertebrates), we observe a wide size range for vsRNAs (Fig. Despite the likely capture of some degradation products, there are several strong indications of vsRNA populations that are not simply the result of degradative mechanisms. vsRNAs were absent in two RNAi-defective mutants, rrf-1(pk1417)I and rde-4(ne299)III (Table S3), while as predicted, genomic viral RNA replicated to high levels in these mutants (Parameswaran P, unpublished). https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.ppat.1000764.g007. Additionally, some viruses make their genomes inaccessible to PRRs of various types including IFN effectors and the siRNA-programmed RISC complex (e.g. snoRNA. In the systems we surveyed, vsRNA abundance varied between 0 and 12.8 (v/miR; relative to miRNAs), or between 0 and 0.02 (v/sRNA; relative to all small RNAs; Table S3). https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.ppat.1000764.s005. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.ppat.1000764.s024. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.ppat.1000764.s011. The perfect nature of the homology makes it difficult to determine whether this minor class of sRNAs was derived from the host or from the virus. 1, Figure S2: length distributions). For example, Adenovirus VA RNA sequesters PKR [22], while proteins from Vaccinia virus (E3L), Porcine Rotaviruses (NSP3), and Influenza A virus (NS1) sequester dsRNA and prevent stimulation of the IFN response [23],[24],[25],[26]. PLoS Pathog 6(2): 7A) specifically associate with four members of a family of proteins called Argonautes, which are the core components of RISC [11],[12]. For Polio, VSV, and West Nile, experimentally-determined strand ratios of full-length viral RNAs in infected cells range from 10∶1 to >100∶1 (Positive∶Negative; In the absence of Dicer, the observed vsRNA abundance in MEFs only dropped about 2.1-fold (relative to all sequences; In the absence of host Argonaute-2 (tested for VSV and Polio in MEFs; In the absence of a functional IFN-α/β receptor in the host (tested for WNV and Polio; In addition to the production of vsRNAs, viral infection may be expected to lead to perturbations in levels of endogenous small RNAs (e.g. However, we do stress that we do not yet know what fraction of the vsRNA pool is functional. Hepatitis C Virus: HCV subgenomic Replicon-harboring cells (RP7 cells) were established by electroporation of viral RNA from a modified I377/NS3-3′UTR replicon of genotype 1b ([55]; for sequence, see accession# AJ242652.1) into Huh7 cell lines, and maintained under G418 selection. S12 & S13. 6B; False Discovery Rate is less than 0.01%). Abbreviations for the different types of RNA are listed and explained. The observed boost in vsRNA abundance in IFN knockout conditions could conceivably reflect a number of distinct effects including augmented viral replication in the absence of IFN, and/or specific interactions between IFN stimulation and the RNAi machineries. There is a substantial challenge in choosing and interpreting appropriate normalization schemes: any change in sample character that results in increased levels of non-specific degradation of RNA will increase the levels of non-specific decay products (which may include decay products of both cellular and viral long RNAs), and impact both v/miR and v/sRNA ratios. Listed here are the types of RNA, grouped by role. DNA and RNA viruses are two types of viruses with different types of genetic material. The blue squares represent miRNAs that are downregulated in infected cells/late time-points compared to uninfected/early time-points. RNA1 encodes a functional FHV RNA replicase (FHV Protein A), and a second protein (FHV Protein B2) that contributes to viral infectivity by inhibiting the RNAi pathway (by binding dsRNA in bulk [109],[110]). S3) systems (Table S3), the abundance and molecular features of vsRNAs were dependent on the nature of the host and/or the virus, with some notable trends: Samples sequenced on the Solexa platform are prefixed with ‘Sol-,’ while samples sequenced on the GS-20/GS-FLX are pre-fixed with ‘454-.’ (3A) Sequence count: all RNAs, miRNAs, vsRNAs (Y-axis: log scale). In describing the results of this work, we have taken care to avoid any a-priori assumption that small RNAs identified by sequencing play a functional role in gene silencing, viral pathogenesis, or host response. RNA and related retro viruses represent a large and diverse family that contribute to the onset of human diseases such as AIDS; certain cancers like T cell lymphoma; severe acute respiratory illnesses as seen with COVID-19; and others. RNAs that mapped to the genome of the infecting virus) were plotted as a function of the length of the viral genome. These siRNAs have a terminal 5′ mono-phosphate and a terminal 3′ hydroxyl on both strands, generally have 2 nt 3′ overhangs, and are fed into an RNA-induced silencing complex “RISC” (for review on Dicer and Argonautes, see [8],[9]). Mice used for experimental infections with West Nile Virus were genotyped and bred in the animal facilities of the Washington University School of Medicine, and experiments were performed with approval from, and according to the guidelines of, the Washington University Animal Studies Committee (which is IACUC approved). It is tempting to speculate that this upregulation of miR-21 may be indicative of proliferating immune cells post-recognition of viral antigens. S15B–C). RNA viruses are among the most prevalent pathogens and are a major burden on society. The yellow squares represent miRNAs that are upregulated in infected cells/late time-points compared to uninfected/early time-points. S16I–S16T), suggesting that a fraction of the detected vsRNAs may be generated by Dicer-like nucleases. The near-equivalent abundance of vsRNA strands is consistent with vsRNAs deriving from cleavage of a double-stranded replication intermediate, which has an equimolar ratio of positive and negative strands. A comparison of vsRNA localization and published secondary structures of the HCV IRES and EMCV IRES is shown in Fig. Unassigned single stranded positive-sense RNA viruses: Single-stranded, positive-sense, … Similar questions of great interest in mammals remain unresolved. This allowed us to work with samples from different viral systems and diverse experimental conditions in a cost-effective manner, with a small number of instrument runs. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.ppat.1000764, Editor: Charles M. Rice, The Rockefeller University, United States of America, Received: September 18, 2009; Accepted: January 13, 2010; Published: February 12, 2010.

A prominent feature of siRNA duplexes generated by Dicer (an RNaseIII family member) is the presence of approximately two unpaired nucleotides at the 3′ termini of either strand [67],[68],[69]. The DNA viruses constitute classes I and II. 7A; for raw data, see Fig. Although RNA is typically single stranded within cells, there is significant diversity in viruses. Four of the most studied families of PRRs for dsRNA are: (a) cytoplasmic RNA helicases like Retinoic acid-inducible gene I & Melanoma differentiation-associated gene-5 (“RIG-I” & “Mda-5,” which trigger mitochondrial-localized antiviral pathways); (b) Protein Kinase R (“PKR,” which induces a translational arrest state in cells after sensing dsRNA); (c) 2′–5′ oligoadenylate synthetase (“OAS,” which stimulates the ssRNase activity of RNase L in response to dsRNA); and (d) Toll-like receptors (“TLRs,” which bind various forms of RNA or DNA). https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.ppat.1000764.g004. For infection in MEFs (ago-2+/+ and ago-2−/−), BHK-21, and HeLa cells, an MOI of 5 PFU/cell was used, and all cells were harvested 4 h.p.i. The identification of multiple vsRNAs, some of which are derived from ‘hotspot’ locations in diverse viral genomes may be useful for designing cocktails of siRNAs for therapeutic purposes, and for mapping areas of the viral genome that are more susceptible to RNAi machineries. vsRNAs have been postulated to mediate roles other than viral gene silencing. DNA viruses contain DNA in the genome while RNA viruses contain RNA. (S18A) Sequence count: all RNAs, miRNAs, vsRNAs (Y-axis: log scale). Affiliation Sequence rearrangements were found in the following animal plus-strand RNA viruses: picorna- viruses: poliovirus and foot-and-mouth-disease virus (FMDV); in coronaviruses: mouse hepatitis coronavirus (MHV); Sindbis alphavirus (SIN); flock house nodavirus (FHV); and in bacteriophages Qβ, and MS-2. The IP datasets for Ago-2 and Ago-4 showed a notable feature: a striking de-enrichment for duplexes with 0–3 nt 3′ overhangs, compared to their respective total RNA samples (P-values of 0 and 2.1E-49 respectively). https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.ppat.1000764.s009. For instance, we observed an increased abundance of vsRNAs from the region of overlap between the full-length RNA1 and the subgenomic RNA3 of Flock House Virus (Fig. vsRNAs with a 5′ monophosphate from: (S18B) HeLa cells, that are prone to lysis upon infection with the Mahoney strain of poliovirus (MOI = 5, 5.5 h.p.i, Sample: Sol-1); (S18C) K562 cells, in which Poliovirus establishes a persistent infection (Sample: 454-49); (S18D) brain of 6wk-old paralyzed Poliovirus-infected IFNαβR−/−; PVR+/+ male mouse, 4 d.p.i. The family Reoviridae is the largest and most diverse dsRNA virus family in terms of … Icosahedral (+) ssRNA viruses represent a large fraction of all viruses known and include important human pathogens: poliovirus, human rhinovirus, hepatitis A virus, Norwalk virus, astrovirus, alphavirus, and members of the Flaviviridae family that carry an RNA-containing nucleocapsid are some examples. These plots were generated using GenePattern [http://www.broad.mit.edu/cancer/software/genepattern/]. Cell lysates were vortexed, incubated on ice for 20 minutes, spun at 4°C for 10 min at 13,000 rpm, and the supernatants were transferred to new tubes. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.ppat.1000764.g005. Fold changes were log2-transformed. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.ppat.1000764.s016. S20). Abundance of vsRNAs in various host systems infected with (1A) Dengue Virus, Vesicular Stomatitis Virus, or Polio Virus, and (1B) Hepatitis C Virus, West Nile Virus, or Flock House Virus. Predicted overhangs formed by overlapping sets of sense and antisense 20 and 21 nt vsRNAs sequenced from: (S16I) eri-1+/+ MEFs +Poliovirus; (S16J) eri-1−/− MEFs +Poliovirus; (S16K) dcr-1+/+ MEFs +Poliovirus; (S16L) dcr-1−/− MEFs +Poliovirus. Even within a single host, tissue specific factors seem to govern the efficacies of small RNA-related mechanisms. For five out of these six comparisons, the variation in vsRNA abundance between “wild-type” and “mutant” hosts is higher than the (maximum) 3-fold difference we observed in technical replicates. This was observed from multiple mammalian samples infected with either HCV or Poliovirus (Table S3; Fig. There has been some attempt at demonstrating recognition of viral RNA by the RNAi machinery. An RNA vaccine or mRNA (messenger RNA) vaccine is a type of vaccine that uses a copy of a natural chemical called messenger RNA (mRNA) to produce an immune response. Samples sequenced on the Solexa platform are prefixed with ‘S-,’ while samples sequenced on the GS-20/GS-FLX are pre-fixed with ‘4-.’ The asterisks indicate vsRNAs from RNA pools captured using the 5′-P-INDependent cloning protocol. West Nile Virus: The NY99-eqhs strain (Accession# AF260967.1) was used for all infections. Viruses are the predominant cause of respiratory tract illnesses and include RNA viruses such as respiratory syncytial virus, influenza virus, parainfluenza virus, metapneumovirus, rhinovirus, and coronavirus. vsRNAs from an early passage (passage 3) of cells: (S8D) captured using the 5′-P-dependent protocol (Sol-176); (S8E) captured using the 5′-P-INDependent protocol (Sol-179). Worms and mouse tissues were flash frozen in liquid nitrogen, powdered and lysed. Detailed analyses of vsRNA and host-derived short RNA populations demonstrate both common and virus-specific features of the interplay between viral infection and short RNA populations. (S8A) Sequence count: all RNAs, miRNAs, vsRNAs (Y-axis: log scale). Conversely, when we stimulated the Interferon pathway by providing an exogenous supply of IFN-α to a culture of HCVrep-harboring cells, we found that concurrent with reduction in full-length genomic RNA (as reported in: [55],[100]), HCV-derived vsRNAs also dropped several fold (Fig. By contrast, productive infections with the same viruses in other host environments (e.g. The DNA is then incorporated into the host’s genome by an integrase enzyme. To identify virus-host systems in which RNAi might participate as an antiviral defense mechanism, we sequenced small RNAs from diverse populations of cells (of human or mouse origin) infected with one of five viruses: Vesicular Stomatitis Virus (VSV), Poliovirus, West Nile Virus (WNV), Dengue Virus, or Hepatitis C Virus (HCV). The IFN signaling pathway is central to the detection of, and response to, virus infections in cells. Ribonucleic acid (RNA) occurs in different forms within organisms and serves many different roles. There is strong evidence for an antiviral role for RNAi in plant and invertebrate systems (for review, see [15],[16],[17]). Alternatively, the skew in +/− ratios may be due to (hypothetical) differential accessibility of the positive and negative full-length strands to nuclease digestion, with the negative strand being more accessible despite being less abundant. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.ppat.1000764.s015. The vaccine transfects molecules of synthetic RNA into immunity cells.Once inside the immune cells, the vaccine's RNA functions as mRNA, causing the cells to build the foreign protein that would normally be produced by a … These experiments define vsRNAs as one possible component of the interplay between animal viruses and their hosts. Mild illnesses in humans include some cases of the common cold (which is also caused by other viruses, predominantly rhinoviruses), while more lethal varieties can cause SARS, MERS, and COVID-19. Department of Molecular Microbiology, Washington University School of Medicine, St. Louis, Missouri, United States of America, Current address: Department of Biological Sciences, Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge, Louisiana, United States of America, Affiliation These were infected with virus at an MOI = 0.01, and harvested 4 and 16 h.p.i. (S17A) Sequence count: all RNAs, miRNAs, vsRNAs (Y-axis: log scale). We were interested in understanding the role played by the RNAi machinery in shaping the course of viral pathogenesis in vertebrate and invertebrate host systems. 2F). These viruses were purposefully chosen as token members of diverse families (Fig. 2): rde-1 is not required for Dicer-mediated production of sense and antisense primary siRNAs, but is required for the production of more abundant antisense secondary siRNAs [44],[49],[75]. of Pathology funds, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (to Andrew Z. RNA viruses, also known as retroviruses, have RNA as their genetic material. Thus vsRNA abundance seems to associate with the strength of the IFN response: the more robust the IFN response, the fewer the number of vsRNAs. Mammals have the necessary protein components to generate these viral-derived short RNAs (“vsRNAs”), raising the question of whether vsRNAs in mammals are a general feature of infections with RNA viruses. 2). Daohong Jiang, ... Said A. Ghabrial, in Advances in Virus Research, 2013. Viruses replicate most effectively in these systems in the absence of key elements of the RNAi pathway: either in cells lacking components of the RNAi machinery, or in the presence of virus-encoded suppressors of the silencing pathway (for review, see [18],[19]). vsRNAs from: (5B) Huh7 cells with HCV replicon (Sample: Sol-4); (5C) Huh7.5 cells infected with HCV virions, harvested 3 d.p.i (Sample: Sol-92). Comprehensive list of virus-host systems that were surveyed, with sample descriptions, bulk frequencies and ratios of various classes of small RNAs, and frequencies of ‘rogue’ viral and host genomic matches to vsRNAs. We also observed a difference in strand ratios of vsRNAs (Positive∶Negative) between strains: 1∶2.4 in wild-type, versus 1∶1.1 in the mutant, rde-1 (P-value = 0.0016). For infections in mice, 106 PFU of virus was injected into one hind leg of 6-week old male mice (intramuscular inoculation; PVR+/+; IFNαβR−/− and PVR+/+; IFNαβR+/+). No, Is the Subject Area "Poliovirus" applicable to this article? The relatively abundant ‘hotspot’ vsRNAs may be more stable, favored in biosynthesis by sequence-specificity of Dicer, reflective of regional or structural specificity in susceptibility of the replication intermediate or ssRNA structures to the dicing complex, or coincident with pause sites during viral replication. We note a limitation of the Argonaute immunoprecipitation (IP) assays in that a large fraction of small RNAs from the cell may be capable of associating with Argonautes in a specific or non-specific manner; nonetheless, the expectation of such experiments is that immunoprecipitation will lead to enrichment for small RNAs that specifically associate with the tagged Argonaute. In contrast, we observed conditions for HCV, Polio, VSV, and West Nile Virus in which the Positive∶Negative strand ratio among vsRNAs was not too different from 1∶1 (Fig. 7A). 5′ mono-phosphorylated (5′-P) vsRNAs were present during abortive FHV RNA1ΔB2 replication in wild-type animals (v/miR = 0.007; Fig. Two high-throughput sequencing platforms were used: Roche/454 pyrosequencing (http://www.454.com/), to obtain several hundred thousand sequences from pools of appropriately linkered amplicon templates; and Solexa/Illumina technology, which yields larger datasets of shorter reads (http://www.illumina.com/). 5′-xP vsRNAs from wild-type Bristol N2 (2F; Sol-52), rde-4 (2G; Sol-50), rde-1 (2H; Sol-51), and rrf-1 (2I; Sol-53) worms, 24 hours post-heat-shock. 3D–E, S17B) can show strong signatures from both strands, consistent with potential generation by dsRNA-related mechanisms. (S15A) [(xRNA/totSeq)MockIP/(xRNA/totSeq)totalRNA] was computed for the various IPs; xRNA: vsRNA, miRNA, miRNA*, or rRNA; totSeq = total number of sequences from each experiment. In the following sections, we will describe small RNA populations present during infection of animal cells with six different viruses. 6A–C). The loading control was visualized by staining the blot with methylene blue. S8, Table S3), with an estimated 7300 +/− 2200 vsRNA molecules per cell (based on the approximation that the most abundant miRNA, miR-122a, is present at 15,000 copies per hepatoma cell in culture [59]). Like other viruses, retroviruses need to use the cellular machinery of the organisms they infect to make copies of themselves. Departments of Pathology & Genetics, Stanford University School of Medicine, Stanford, California, United States of America. **Wild type and Dicer fl/fl mouse embryonic fibroblasts were generated and immortalized through infection with a retrovirus that expresses SV40 large T as previously described [112]. miRNA frequencies were first normalized against the total number of miRNAs for each sample.
