From: Considerations and complications of mapping small RNA high-throughput data to transposable elements
sRNA mapping along the sequences of Ji, Opie and Giepum exemplars and annotated populations. a Un-weighted sRNA data from ear tissue were mapped separately to the LTRs and the internal (INT) domain. Each region was first split in 100 equally sized windows, and mapping was calculated as the number of sRNA species per nucleotide of the sense (positive y-axis) and antisense (negative y-axis) strands, and visualized with a boxplot for each window. The position of the palindromes (LTRs) and the gag, pol and envelope (env) genes (INT domain) are shown at the bottom of each panel. b An example of the LTR sequence of an Opie exemplar with N nucleotides masking the unresolved palindrome-rich region
