Fig. 5: Identification of noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs).

a Mapping of strand-specific RNA-seq reads against six DAMs. The sense read relevant to the DAM transcription direction is denoted in green and antisense in red. The detailed information about DAM organization and location is illustrated in Fig. S1 legend. Note that for the sake of clarity, the reads mapped to exons were removed. b Schematic diagram of the position and size of ncRNAs and relevant Mr/Sr locus. c Expression of three ncRNAs. RPKM—reads per kb per million mapped reads. d plot D4ncRNA expression from strand-specific RNA-seq data (SS-RNA-seq) with DAM4 expression from regular RNA-seq data. e DNA methylation and sRNA expression in Mr/Sr21 locus
