Examples of degradome sequencing-based validation of the phasiRNA-target interactions. Two libraries of degradome sequencing data libraries (GSM434596 and GSM476257) were recruited for T-plot profiling. The IDs of the target transcripts and the corresponding phasiRNAs generated from the transcript of LOC_Os02g18750.1and LOC_Os05g43650.1 are listed on the top. The y axis measure the normalized reads (in RMP, reads per million) of the degradome signals, and the x axis represent the position of the cleavage signals on the target transcripts. The binding sites of the phasiRNA on their target transcripts were denoted by gray horizontal lines, and the dominant cleavage signals were marked by black arrows
