Fig. 3: Impact of source gene characteristics on ct-siRNA production.
From: Multiple factors and features dictate the selective production of ct-siRNA in Arabidopsis
a The sequence length distribution of source genes. b The 5’ UTR length distribution of source genes. c The abundance of ct-siRNAs derived from genes with low, medium, and high GC content, as well as their 1Kb upstream and downstream regions. A total of 3838 genes exhibited differential accumulation of 22-nt ct-siRNAs in the eight selected mutants when compared to Col-0, with a padj < 0.05 and log2FC (Fold Change) > 1. The curves figures in the left and right represent 21-nt and 22-nt ct-siRNAs, respectively.
