Smaug-dependent RNA decay and/or transcription of class I to IX transcripts. (a) Smaug-dependent RNA decay. Class I: transcripts stabilized at either 3-to-5 or 5-to-7 hours. Class II: transcripts stabilized at 3-to-5 hours. Class III: transcripts stabilized at 3-to-5 hours. Class IV: transcripts stabilized at 5-to-7 hours. Class VII: transcripts stabilized at 5-to-7 hours. (b) Smaug-dependent zygotic transcription. Class III: transcripts that fail to increase at 5-to-7 hours. Class VI: transcripts that fail to increase at 5-to-7 hours. Class VII: transcripts that fail to increase at 3-to-5 hours. Class VIII: transcripts that fail to increase at 3-to-5 hours. Class XI: transcripts that fail to increase either at 3-to-5 or 5-to-7 hours. Each line represents the average expression profile of a transcript from all the replicates. Each pair of plots represents the expression profiles of the same group of Smaug-dependent transcripts in wild-type (left panel) and smaug-mutant PGCs (right panel).
