Small RNA sequencing analysis reveals a majority of 29–30 nt long non-repeat intergenic piRNAs in pachytene spermatocytes. (A) Sequence length distribution of small RNAs in wild-type pachytene cells after high-throughput sequencing, indicating peak expression of 29–30 nt long small RNAs. (B) Distribution of small RNA classes in isolated pachytene cells from wild type (left), Alkbh1/ (middle) and TzfpGTi/GTi (right). (C) Distribution of pachytene piRNAs into non-repeat associated, repeat associated (LTR, LINE and SINE) and other repeat sequences (analyses performed on the sample from (A)). (D) Distribution of non-repeat pachytene piRNAs into intergenic, exonic, intronic and UTR sequences (analyses performed on the sample from (A)).
