Figure 6. Mael represses transposons by piRNA-dependent and piRNA-independent mechanisms.
(A) Scatter plots comparing sense steady-state RNA (RNA-seq) abundance between maelM391/r20 and piwi2/Nt ovaries. All data are the mean of six independent biological samples for uniquely mapping reads.
(B) H3K4me3 ChIP-seq data from 5 kb up and downstream of the 5′ ends of the individual transposon insertions with increased steady-state mRNA levels in maelM391/r20 compared to piwi2/Nt ovaries (110 within clusters and 324 outside clusters from Figure 6A). Individual control and maelM391/r20 replicates are shown and mean H3K4me3 signal surrounding the 5′ ends is shown above, while signal from individual transposon insertions is show below.
