Assessment of redistribution of H3K27me3 upon depletion of MES-4. (A) Number of genes on each chromosome with significantly increased or decreased H3K27me3 in mes-4(RNAi) compared to wild type. (B) For 276 genes mis-regulated in mes-4 mutant germlines, comparison of gene mis-expression (X genes, red circles; autosomal genes, blue circles) versus change in H3K27me3 levels between mes-4(RNAi) and wild-type early embryos. (C) Expected and observed numbers of genes in different expression categories among genes with significantly increased or decreased H3K27me3 in mes-4(RNAi) compared to wild type.
