Figure 3. Dynamics of H3.3 and H3.1 enrichment during development.

Figure 3

(A–B) Average profile of H3.3 (green) and H3.1 (orange) enrichment over genes that are five fold up-regulated in dividing tissue (plain line) compared to non-dividing tissue (dashed line) (194 genes) (A) and vice versa (88 genes) (B). The average H3.3 enrichment varies during development and follows expression changes (A–B). In contrast, the average H3.1 enrichment does not vary significantly during the developmental transition (A–B). (C) Scatterplots of the modulation of H3.3 (green), H3.1 (orange), H3 (blue) and IgG (dashed grey) enrichment rank versus gene expression rank in dividing compared to non-dividing tissue. A sliding window of 500 genes was applied on both the gene expression difference and the differential enrichment. Only the modulation of H3.3 shows a positive correlation with changes of levels of expression.
