Target plots (t-plots) of miRNA targets in different categories confirmed by degradome sequencing.

<p>(A) T-plot (top) and miRNA: mRNA alignments (bottom) for two category I targets, Unigene11776_All and CL1057.Contig2_All transcripts. The arrow indicates signatures consistent with miRNA-directed cleavage. The solid lines and dot in miRNA: mRNA alignments indicate matched RNA base pairs and GU mismatch, respectively, and the red letter indicates the cleavage site. (B) CL5129.Contig3_All and CL6407.Contig9_All, a category II target for pas-miR156d and pas-miR167. (C) CL11907.Contig1_All and Unigene1681_All, a category III target for pas-miR168b and pas-miR169e.
