Genes overlapped by piRNAs and 19mers (A) A piRNA cluster, transcribed from left to right and overlapped by a gene transcribed in the opposite direction, is presented (NCBI37/mm9 locus: chr10:62,120,321-62,152,434). The coverage of piRNA-sized reads (24-30nt) and 19mers (with A 10 nt downstream) is also presented in the form of wiggle plots with reads mapped from left to right above the x-axis and reads mapped from right to left below. Only uniquely mapping reads were used. The position of a gene (Stox1) is indicated with exons represented by filled boxes, arrows indicating the direction of transcription and the thin boxes representing the untranslated regions (UTRs). (B) A gene giving rise to piRNAs and and opposite sense 19mers is presented (NCBI37/mm9 locus: chr11:5,428,021-5,442,615). The coverage of piRNAs-sized reads (24-30nt) and 19mers (with A 10 nt downstream) is plotted in the form of wiggle plots with reads mapped from left to right above the x-axis and reads mapped from right to left below. Only uniquely mapping reads were used. The position of the gene (Ccdc117) is indicated with exons represented by filled boxes, arrows indicating the direction of transcription and thin boxes representing the UTRs.
