Extended Data Fig. 1: Percentage of variation in gene expression explained by methylation and genotype in the significantly correlated methQTL/ eQTL candidates.
From: The methylation landscape and its role in domestication and gene regulation in the chicken
Percentage of variation in gene expression explained by methylation and genotype in the significantly correlated methQTL/ eQTL candidates. Genes possessing an eQTL are subdivided into the total % of variation that can be accounted for in a model including eQTL genotype, sex and methylation from any significant methQTL (that is genotype, sex and methylation together explain 10–20% of variation in gene expression in the smallest category, and over 50% of gene expression variation in the largest category). The explained gene expression variation in each category is then separated into the % of variation explained by the eQTL genotype and sex and the % variation explained by methylation. In the case of the category for >50% variation explained in gene expression, only four methQTL/ eQTL models fell into this bracket.
