Figure 2From: Transcriptional and epigenetic responses to mating and aging in Drosophila melanogasterSize distributions of small RNAs in young (blue) and aged (red) virgin and mated flies. Black and open arrowheads indicate the regions corresponding to miRNAs and rasiRNAs, respectively. The arrows point at small fragments apparent only in young flies after mating that likely reflect mRNA degradation products generated during the maternal to zygotic transition.Back to article page
