Fig. 4From: Transposable Element Bm1645 is a Source of BmAGO2-associated Small RNAs that affect its expression in Bombyx mori Validation of TE-siRNA targeted sites using dual-luciferase assays. The expression of the firefly luciferase fused with the wild-type sequences containing TE-siRNA targeted sites in Bm1645 was inhibited by the corresponding TE-siRNAs. But TE-siRNAs did not affect the activity of luciferase fused with the mutant sequencesBack to article page
