Figure 1

Females have higher H2A.Z binding than males in a gene-specific way. ChIP was conducted to assess binding of H2A.Z, normalized for H3 binding at the same loci, at several genes related to neural plasticity. There were no sex differences in H2A.Z binding at Fos, Arc, or Gadd45b, but females had significantly more H2A.Z at B2m, Fkbp5, and Th compared to males. Data are shown as Mean ± SEM, *p ≤ 0.05. N = 8–10/sex.
