Fig. 2

The distributions of sRNA and degradome reads, and phase scores of four 21 nt PHAS loci identified. From Part (a) to (d), the phased positions from the position with the highest phase scores of the PHAS loci were marked with the vertical gray lines. The miRNA complementary sites were marked as the yellow boxes in the read distribution panel. MiRNAs complement to the sense and anti-sense strand of the predicted PHAS loci were pointed by miRNAs from above and under zero read line, respectively. The predicted miRNA binding sites were illustrated under the panels of phase scores. a P21_TR101427_c8_g4_i1_1 that is targeted by miR1509a. b P21_TR90574_c0_g2_i1_1 that is targeted by miR1509a. c P21_TR96043_c0_g1_i2_1 that is targeted by miR1509a. d P21_TR101805_c1_g7_i2_1 that is targeted by miR171l. e to h are the distributions of degradome reads for PHAS loci in Part (a) to (d), respectively. In Part (e) to (h), the arrows correspond to the positions pointed by the arrows of the same colors in the lower panels of Part (a) to (d), respectively
