Figure 5. Depletion of ADAD2 leads to changes in the piRNA populations.

Figure 5.

(A) Length distribution of small RNAs in Adad2+/+ and Adad2Δ/Δ testes. RPM, reads per million reads. (B) Distribution of the 1st and 10th nucleotides of piRNAs (24 – 35 nt in length) in Adad2+/Δ and Adad2Δ/Δ testes. (C) Expression of piRNAs in Adad2+/+ and Adad2Δ/Δ testes. LTR, long terminal repeat retrotransposons; LINE, non-LTR autonomous long interspersed element; SINE, non-LTR non-autonomous short-interspersed element. (D) Relative expression of cluster-derived and non-cluster-derived pachytene piRNAs bound to MILI or MIWI in Adad2+/+ and Adad2Δ/Δ testes.
