From: DNA Methylation of T1R1 Gene in the Vegetarian Adaptation of Grass Carp Ctenopharyngodon idella
Differentially expressed CpG islands and DNA methylation patterns of T1R1 CpG islands in the grass carp intestinal tract. (A) Illustration of the region of CpG islands and BSP primers. The BSP detection region contained 3 CpG islands, which included 10 CpG sites, 16 CpG sites and 8 CpG sites, respectively. (B) DNA methylation patterns of the intestinal tract in grass carp before or after the food habit transition to herbivores as analyzed by BSP. Each line represents one individual bacterial clone, and each circle represents one single CpG dinucleotide. Open circles show unmethylated CpGs and black circles show methylated CpGs. A red asterisk suggests that the DNA methylation of the CpGs was significantly different after the food habit transition from carnivore to herbivore in grass carp.
