From: Long-term experimental evolution reveals purifying selection on piRNA-mediated control of transposable element expression

Fig. 5

Perturbed 22G-RNAs are associated with changes in TE expression in MA lines. a, b Comparison of differences in TE expression in MA lines of different population sizes for piRNA targeted and non-piRNA targeted TEs, respectively. See Additional File 1: Fig. S2 for the number of TEs targeted by piRNAs. c Total piRNA levels in MA lines across different population sizes. d Levels of 22G-RNAs mapping to all TEs in MA lines at different population sizes. e Barplot illustrating Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient between change in TE expression and the levels of 22G-RNAs mapping to the same TE, coloured by the identity of the TE. f As in e, but coloured according to whether the TE is targeted by piRNAs or not
