Fig. 4: Methylation levels (0.0–0.2, 0.2–0.4, 0.4–0.6, 0.6–0.8, and 0.8–1.0) of promoters and gene bodies in relation to gene expression and alternative splicing following virus acquisition in Bemisia tabaci.
From: A plant virus differentially alters DNA methylation in two cryptic species of a hemipteran vector
The B cryptic species methylation levels of promoters and gene bodies corresponding to (a) gene expression and (b) alternative splicing. The Q cryptic species methylation levels of promoters and gene bodies corresponding to (c) gene expression and (d) alternative splicing. Counts of genes can be found under their respective boxes. Comparisons between non-viruliferous and viruliferous groups were conducted via Wilcoxon signed-rank tests. Statistical significance levels are indicated by asterisks in the figure: ns (not significant) for p > 0.05, * for p ≤ 0.05, ** for p ≤ 0.01, *** for p ≤ 0.001, and **** for p ≤ 0.0001.
