From: Small ocean temperature increases elicit stage-dependent changes in DNA methylation and gene expression in a fish, the European sea bass

Figure 1

Global DNA methylation in European sea bass larvae (a, c, d) and juveniles (b) subjected to constant temperatures (a, b) or acclimated at different stages during development (c, d) and visualized by Principal Coordinates Analysis (PCoA). (a) Larvae reared at 15 °C [blue, n = 21], 17 °C [green, n = 15] or 19 °C [red, n = 12]. (b) Juveniles reared at 17 °C [blue, n = 18] or 21 °C [red, n = 18]. (c) Larvae switched to 19 °C at 15 [15–19(15), green, n = 15], 120 [15–1915–19(120), pink, n = 15] and 240 [15–19(240), yellow, n = 10] hours post fertilization. (d) Larvae switched to 15 °C at 15 [19-15(15), green, n = 14], 120 [19-15(120), pink, n = 15] and 240 [19-15(240), yellow, n = 11] hours post fertilization. The two first components of the PCoA are shown. Values in parenthesis indicate the percentage of the variance explained. Group labels indicate the centroid, the ellipses show the group dispersion, the dotted lines the direction of maximum and minimum dispersion (long and short axis of the ellipse, respectively) and the points represent individual samples from the different groups.
