The reads distribution and Phase Scores for three 21 nt PHAS loci potentially triggered by MIR169r-5p. The vertical gray lines with distances of 21 nt are the phased positions from the position with the highest phase scores of the PHAS loci. The yellow boxes in the read distribution panel represent the MIR169r-5p complementary sites. Sites pointed by miRNAs from above and under zero read line means miRNAs complement to the plus and minus strand of the predicted PHAS loci, respectively. The predicted MIR169r-5p complementary sites are shown below the phase score panel. The blue region after the complementary sites are one of the phasiRNAs generated from the PHAS loci. a P21_Chr0_4. b P21_Chr6_2. c P21_Chr7_8
