Upstream motifs of 21-U RNAs in different nematode species. (A) Consensus sequences for the upstream regions of the 21U-RNAs are displayed as sequence logos (Schneider and Stephens 1990) for all four nematode species. The consensus sequence is divided up into two regions: a small 4-nt motif directly upstream of the 21U-RNA and a larger motif ∼25 nt upstream of the 21U-RNA. Spacers of variable size separate these motifs. (B) The distribution of the spacer size is depicted for all species.
