Fig. 4: Loss of H3K36me3 results in an excessive gain of CG methylation in genomic regions with specific histone marks.

From: Histone H3K36me2 and H3K36me3 form a chromatin platform essential for DNMT3A-dependent DNA methylation in mouse oocytes

a Scatter plots showing CG methylation levels in control and Setd2 KO FGOs. Fifty thousand randomly selected 10 kb bins were plotted. b Heatmaps showing H3K36me3, H3K36me2, H3K27me3, and H3K4me3 enrichment and CG methylation levels in 10 kb bins in control and Setd2 KO FGOs11, 14. CG methylation differences between Setd2 KO and control FGOs (ΔCGme). The data were sorted in the same order as in Fig. 3a. c Heatmaps showing H3K4me3 enrichment in 10 kb bins in control and Mll2 KO FGOs12. d Violin plots showing CG methylation differences in 10 kb bins of cluster 4 (n = 45,161) between Setd2 KO and control FGOs (left) or between Mll2 KO and control FGOs (right)12. Boxplots show median value and 25–75th percentiles, and whiskers show 1.5× interquartile range from the box. e Scatter plots showing CG methylation levels in control and Setd2 KO FGOs across the genome (left), autosomes (middle), and X chromosome (right). Fifty thousand (left) or ten thousand randomly selected 10 kb bins (middle and right) were plotted with a color gradient for H3K36me2 enrichment in Setd2 KO FGOs11.
