Fig. 5From: Promoter-based identification of novel non-coding RNAs reveals the presence of dicistronic snoRNA-miRNA genes in Arabidopsis thaliana The identification of ncR40. (a) Schematic representation of ncR40. The termini were examined by small RNA fragments enrichment. The TeloSII elements and TATA box are represented by different boxes: Telo-box (open box), Site II (gray box), and TATA box (black box). The primers designed for ncR40 and their expected sizes are indicated by arrows and solid lines. (b) RT-PCR validation of ncR40 in 2-week-old seedlings. RT+ and RT- refer to the presence and absence of reverse transcriptase, respectively. Molecular markers are shown as M. Genomic DNA, G, was used as a positive control. The expected RT-PCR product size is indicated below the lanesBack to article page
