Figure 4: BRAT1 and BRP1 affect the transcript levels of their target loci without alteration of DNA methylation.

(a) The DNA methylation levels of AtGP1, AtMU1 and SDC were calculated from the whole-genome bisulfite sequencing data. The percentages of CG, CHG and CHH methylation are separately shown. (b) Numbers of TEs and protein-coding genes up- or downregulated in brat1 relative to the wild type (WT) as determined by the RNA deep sequencing analysis. (c,d) DNA methylation levels of downregulated TEs and genes in brat1 were indicated by box plots and scatter plots.
