Genome-wide profiling of piRNAs in the whitefly <i>Bemisia tabaci</i> reveals cluster distribution and association with begomovirus transmission - Fig 1

A. Distribution of sRNA read lengths. Size distribution of sequence reads with peaking at 28–31 nt which is usual size range for piRNAs. Horizontal axis provides read length and vertical axis provides total number of reads at specific length. 24 h-H, 48 h-H, and 72 h-H represents whiteflies fed on uninfected tomato for 24, 48 and 72 hours, respectively. 24 h-V, 48 h-V, and 72 h-V represents whiteflies fed on TYLCV-infected tomato for 24, 48 and 72 hours, respectively. Fig 1B. Distribution of piRNAs in different genomic regions. Percentage of all identified piRNAs mapping to different genomic features. Red color denotes piRNAs derived from coding sequences (CDS), green color denotes piRNAs derived from repeat elements, and blue denotes piRNAs derived from non-coding sequences including intergenic regions, introns and UTRs. C). Distribution of piRNAs based on strand. Green color denotes percentage of piRNAs derived from sense strand whereas brown color denotes percentage of piRNAs derived from antisense strand. D). Distribution of piRNAs based on mapping to number of genomic loci. Blue color denotes piRNAs mapped to multiple genomic loci whereas brown color denotes piRNAs mapped to single unique genomic loci. 24 h-H, 48 h-H, and 72 h-H represents whiteflies fed on uninfected tomato for 24, 48 and 72 hours, respectively. 24 h-V, 48 h-V, and 72 h-V represents whiteflies fed on TYLCV-infected tomato for 24, 48 and 72 hours, respectively.
