Extended Data Fig. 2: Association between gbM, teM and expression of Arabidopsis genes.

From: Gene body methylation regulates gene expression and mediates phenotypic diversity in natural Arabidopsis populations

Extended Data Fig. 2

(a) GbM and expression of six example genes across accessions. Percent expression variance explained (PVE) by gbM and P values of Pearson’s correlation tests are indicated. (b) Frequency distribution of percent expression variance of Bonferroni α = 0.05 and FDR 0.05 eQTLgbM genes explained by mCG variation. The filled bars depict all eQTLgbM genes significant at respective thresholds, and the empty bars represent eQTLgbM genes showing R2 < 0.1 between local and global gbM levels. (c) Percent expression variance explained by gbM or teM in Bonferroni eQTLgbM/teM genes. The number of QTLs corresponding to each category is indicated. Center lines represent sample medians, box limits indicate the 25th and 75th percentiles, whiskers extend to 1.5 times the interquartile range. (d) Frequency distribution of percent expression variance of Bonferroni eQTLteM genes explained by mCG variation.
