Extended Data Fig. 8. PIWI slicing does not require pairing to piRNA 5′ end.

Extended Data Fig. 8

a, Fraction of cleaved targets in FACS-purified mouse primary spermatocytes for pairing containing a single mononucleotide mismatch. Box plots show IQR and median; 95% confidence interval was calculated with 10,000 bootstrapping iterations. b, MILI, MIWI, and EfPiwi pre-steady-state cleavage rates in vitro for all possible stretches of ≥ 6-nt contiguous pairing starting from nucleotides g2–g15 of piRNA #1, Kctd7 piRNA, and piRNA #2. c, Intracellular concentration of pachytene piRNAs in mouse primary spermatocytes. Data are the mean of 12 biologically independent samples.
