FIGURE 2.

Penelope-derived small RNAs. (A) Size distribution of Penelope-derived small RNAs in strains of D. virilis and transgenic D. melanogaster. (B,C) Penelope-derived siRNAs (21 nt) were plotted along the Penelope consensus sequence in transgenic strains A1 and A2 of D. melanogaster, respectively. (D) Penelope-derived siRNAs (21 nt) in an ovary small RNA library from strain 160. The structure of the consensus Penelope element, containing two “pseudo-LTRs” used in transformation experiments is shown at the bottom of the figure.
