—Candidate piRNAs in the honeybee genome. Shaded regions show the minimum/maximum values observed between biological replicates. (A) Size distribution of small RNAs of 24 bp and larger mapped to the honeybee genome. A peak between 26 and 31 nt can be observed, consistent with the size of piRNAs in other species. (B) Percentage of sequences with a 5′ U. The majority of sequences between 26 and 31 nt have the 5′ U characteristic of piRNAs. (C) Size distribution of small RNAs mapped to transposons, the typical piRNA peak between 26 and 31 nt is more pronounced than for the total small RNA population.
