Primate saRNA sequences and target alignments.

Genomic DNA was isolated from WES and COS1 cells. Gene promoter regions surrounding saRNA target sites were sequenced using promoter-specific primers. Indicated are the saRNA sequences aligned to human, Pan troglodytes (PT; chimpanzee), and Cercopithecus aethiops (CA; African green monkey) promoter sequences. Target sites are highlighted in yellow, while non-target sequence is highlighted in blue. Genomic sequences divergent from human are not highlighted. The numerical designation within the name of each saRNA denotes the target location on each gene promoter relative to the transcription start site of the human gene.
