FIGURE 7.
Characterization of Gigaspora margarita(Gma)-sRNA generating loci. (A) Biplot of principal components 1 and 2 of PCA based on the length of loci, the total number of mapped reads and the nucleotide size proportion of Gma-sRNAs (from 18 to 35 nt) defining each locus (19 total variables). (B) HDBSCAN clustering reveals the presence of two distinct populations of data (Clusters 1 and 2). (C) Overview of the relative genomic positions of the loci compared to those of protein-encoding genes. (D) Overview of the homology of Gma-sRNA-generating loci with fungal repetitive elements in RepBase 23.04 (tblastx: E-value ≤ 0.00005).
