Figure 2. Y-Sat siRNA distribution around the yellow domain of the CMV Y-Sat genome detected by small RNA deep sequencing.

Figure 2

Note that most siRNAs are of 21 and 22-nt size classes, which are effective in directing mRNA cleavage [8], [9]. Each point represents the number of reads (the Y-axis), and the position of the 5′ terminal nucleotide along the Y-Sat genome (the X-axis), of a specific siRNA. The three dashed lines indicate the 5′ terminal nucleotide of the three siRNAs that can direct CHLI cleavage at the sites as determined by 5′ RACE.
