Figure 2. — Parental CHH DMRs are largely located within 2 kb flanking regions of genes. A) Definition of B73 hyper-DMRs (higher methylation in B73) and Mo17 hyper-DMRs (higher methylation in Mo17) between parents. Red (top), blue (middle), and green (bottom) dots represent CG, CHG, and CHH methylation, respectively. B) B73 has more CG and CHG hyper-DMRs, and Mo17 has more hyper-CHH DMRs. C) B73 has higher methylation levels at CG and CHG DMRs, and Mo17 has higher methylation levels at CHH DMRs. The bottom and top boundaries of the box are the first and third quartiles, and the bold lines within individual boxes are the medians, which are referred to as the second quartiles. The ends of the whiskers (the lines) represent the minimum values and maximum values of the data. D) CG and CHG DMRs are more overlapped with each other than each one is with CHH DMRs. E) The distribution of CG, CHG, and CHH parental DMRs; 2 kb up- and downstream of genes overlapping TEs indicate that the DMRs overlap TEs within the 2 kb flanking regions of genes. F) The types of TEs in the categories of 2 kb up- and downstream of genes overlapping TEs in E). DMRs, differentially methylated regions.
