piRNA sequence bias. Small RNA reads in the 24-29 nt putative piRNA class were analysed for sequence bias. Shown are the reads mapping from larval testes and non-bloodfed ovaries as representative examples (A) Nucleotide bias of each position of antisense 24, 25, 27, 28 and 29-nt TE-piRNAs from larvae testes is computed and graphed using pLogo. (B) Nucleotide bias of each position of sense 24, 25, 27, 28 and 29-nt TE-piRNAs from larvae testes is computed and graphed using pLogo. (C) Nucleotide bias of each position of antisense 24, 25, 27, 28 and 29-nt TE-piRNAs from non-blood fed ovaries is computed and graphed using pLogo. (D) Nucleotide bias of each position of sense 24, 25, 27, 28 and 29-nt TE-piRNAs from non-blood fed ovaries is computed and graphed using pLogo.
