SMEDWI-3 binds a diverse class of genic piRNAs. (A) Mapping of immunoprecipitated piRNAs to the planarian genome uncovers a distinct class of genic piRNAs bound to SMEDWI-3. piRNA counts weighted by the number of places they map to were used for the genomic annotation of piRNAs. (B) SMEDWI-3-bound piRNAs mapped to gene-coding regions show a strong sense bias. (C) Coverage profile of RNA-seq and immunoprecipitated piRNAs for traf-6 (SMESG000000371.1). The gene loci are highlighted in blue. A neighboring transposable element is highlighted in gray. (D) Ping-pong analysis of transcripts producing sense piRNAs. Nucleotide composition analysis of total piRNAs mapped to processed transcripts confirms the involvement of the ping-pong cycle. (E) Heatmap showing the enrichment of predicted InterPro protein domains in transcripts with mapped genic piRNAs.
