Characteristics of transposon-derived small RNAs in strains 9 and 160. (A) Small RNA profiles obtained from total ovary small RNAs isolated from D. virilis strain 160. (B) Relative quantities of normalized siRNA (21 nt) and piRNA (23–29 nt) fractions homologous to various TEs in ovary libraries of D. virilis strains 9 and 160. (C) Strand asymmetry of piRNAs mapped to a set of characterized transposons in total ovary libraries of D. virilis.
