Fig. 4: LSU rRNA fragmentation patterns.

a Comparison of mitochondrial LSU rRNA from P. magna and P. falciparum and cytosolic LSU rRNA from T. brucei (PDBID: 4V8M) and E. gracilis (PDBID: 6ZJ3) highlights similar fragmentation patterns. Fragments spanning equivalent regions of the rRNA secondary structures coloured by hue, individual fragments highlighted by colour brightness. E.coli reference diagram as a white background. b Linear representation of the fragments’ span.
