Abbreviations: ChIP, chromatin immunoprecipitation; CTL, control; dmPFC, dorsomedial prefrontal cortex; H3K9me1, histone 3 at the lysine 9 residue; PD, postdependent; shRNA, short hairpin RNA.
Several of these genes may be direct targets of PRDM2, since EdgeR significance analysis of ChIP-seq data identified differential enrichment of H3K9me1 at the indicated genomic loci in the context of alcohol dependence (n=4).
