Fig. 4

a, Decision function coefficients for 400 logistic function fits (regression models) using around 3,500 distinct piRNA–target pairs detected in mouse primary spermatocytes. n = 16 permutations of 4 control (C57BL/6) and 4 pi2−/−pi9−/−pi17−/− animals × 5-repeated × 5-fold cross validation. Box plots show IQR and median. b, Number of piRNAs and siRNAs predicted to cleave mutated versions of the L1MdAI transposon sequence. Data are median and IQR from 100 independent simulations. c, AGO and PIWI proteins use different rules to find and slice targets.
