Fig. 6

ZAM is trapped in a germline piRNA cluster in all analyzed Rev lines. a, d Density profile of ZAM-derived piRNAs along the 8.4Kb ZAM sequence in the RevII-7 (a) and RevI-H3 (d) lines (allowing up to 3 mismatches). Sense and antisense reads are represented in black and grey, respectively. The organization of ZAM is displayed above the profiles. b, e Logo of nucleotide bias for the first ten positions of ZAM-derived piRNAs produced in RevII-7 (b) and RevI-H3 (e) ovaries. The nucleotide height represents its relative frequency at that position. c, f Histogram showing the percentage of 5′-overlaps between sense and antisense ZAM-derived piRNAs (23–29 nt) in RevII-7 (c) and RevI-H3 (f) ovaries. The peak in red defines the 10-nt-overlapping pairs, and the Z-score is indicated
