Chromatin profiles for regions flanking pre-existing TIR elements or novel Ds or Mu insertion sites. a, For 191 TIR families with at least 20 elements present in the W22 genome, we determined the relative level of CG and CHG methylation in 100-bp windows for the 1-kb flanking regions. These levels of methylation were used to cluster the families and a heatmap allows visualization of the patterns of DNA methylation for flanking regions. b,c, The distributions of the average level of methylation for CG (b) or CHG (c) and CHH (d) contexts in the 100 bp surrounding each TE family are shown as density plots. The levels of methylation at sites where Mu (red arrows) or Ds (black arrows) elements can insert are shown as arrows.
