Figure 5: Examples of non-mod trans-splicing events.

(a) Comparison of BGIBMGA008294_exon4::SIBSBM001135_exon2 trans-splicing in silkworm and its homologues from other species. Exons retained in the trans-spliced product are enclosed in dashed boxes. Black block, coding exons; grey block, untranslated exons; red block, donor exons; blue block, acceptor exons. Cpi, C. pipiens; Aae, A. aegypti; Aga, A. gambiae; Dme, D. melanogaster; Pxy, P. xylostella; Bmo, B. mori; Hme, H. melpomene; Dpl, D. plexippus; Tca, T. castaneum; Ame, A. mellifera; Aec, A. echinatior; Cfl, C. floridanus; Api, A. pisum; Dpu, D. pulex. (b) Schematic diagram of trans-splicing between two paralogues, NM_079398 and NM_057620. Red denotes donor exons, and blue indicates acceptor exons. Sequence reads covering the junction site are aligned, with critical residues highlighted in background colours consistent with those of the donor or acceptor.
