Mean number of 24-nucleotide small RNAs uniquely mapping to genic-MULE internal sequences and TIRs in the O. sativa ssp. japonica genome. a Mean number of 24-nucleotide small RNAs uniquely mapping to genic-MULE internal sequences in nine tissues and one wild-type (wt) and two RNA interference lines. The number of 24-nucleotide small RNAs increases over time (t-test, P < 0.002), which is consistent with the change in methylation levels in genic-MULE internal sequences over time. b Mean number of 24-nucleotide small RNAs uniquely mapping to genic-MULE TIRs. The number of 24-nucleotide small RNAs decreases over time (t-test, P < 0.004), which is consistent with the dynamics of methylation levels in genic-MULE TIR regions over time
