Logos of tRFs mapping to tRNA families. (A) Differential mapping of tRFs to the 5' and 3' halves of mature tRNAs. tRFs originating from a single tRNAHis type (see Material and Methods) mapped more abundantly to the 3' half in the mycelia library and in roughly equal frequency to both 5' and 3' halves in the appressoria library. Numbers below each letter in the Logos represent number of nucleotides from small RNAs mappings. (B) Members of tRNAPro family clustered into two types (two Logos per library) where small RNAs mapped predominantly to one type in both libraries. While tRFs mapped preferentially to the 5'half of both tRNAPro types in the mycelia library, they mapped primarily to the 3'half of a single type in the appressoria library. (C) Members of tRNALys grouped into two types. In both libraries, tRFs mapped predominantly to the 3' half and preferentially to one tRNALys type (upper Logo in each library).
