Degradome sequencing data-based identification of microRNA (miRNA)— intron pairs. (A) to (C) miRNA—intron pairs in Arabidopsis. (D) to (I) miRNA—intron pairs in rice. For (A) to (I), the x axes indicate the positions of the miRNA binding sites (marked by horizontal lines) on the full-length genes, and the y axes measure the intensity (normalized in RPM, reads per million) of the degradome signals. The prominent cleavage signals were marked by arrowheads on the target plots (t-plots). The figure keys for the degradome signatures are shown at the right bottom. The miRNAs, the intron IDs and the target gene annotations are shown on the top of each t-plot. For each t-plot, the alignment of the miRNA sequence against the binding site is shown, and the cleavage sites are indicated by vertical dotted lines.
