LTR-siRNAs mapping to the retrotransposable element MAGGY. (A) Distribution of small RNAs (black dotted box) to a ~ 0.8 Mb region of chromosome I show two major peaks on the plus (sense) and minus (antisense) strands. Closer inspection of boxed region reveals many small RNAs (black arrows) mapping to the full length (~ 5 kb) of MAGGY LTR-retrotransposon (red arrow). (B) Detailed inspection of boxed region shows LTR-siRNAs map in roughly equal proportions to both strands of MAGGY where the y axis corresponds to small RNA mappings to sense (red) and to antisense (green) strands and the X axis represents the full length MAGGY sequence. (C) Size distribution of MAGGY-derived LTR-siRNAs reveals a peak length of 22-23 nucleotides.
