Fig 3. Gene-derived piRNAs.

Fig 3

(A) Portions of piRNA reads mapping to introns, exons and pseudogenes in the porcine genome. (B) 5’ overlap of testis piRNAs from pig, mouse and human, mapping to corresponding annotated cDNA. In all three species a high rate of 10 nt 5’ overlaps is detectable. (C) Length distribution of sense and antisense exon-derived piRNAs. (D) Mapping of piRNA reads to the mRNA sequence of the protein-coding gene NUTM2G. Exemplary sites with 10 nt 5’ overlap between sense and antisense piRNA reads are indicated by arrows.
