Local DME-dependent demethylation of maternal endosperm chromosomes. (A, C, and E) Transposons were aligned at the 5′ and 3′ ends (dashed lines) and average methylation levels for each 100-bp interval are plotted. (B, D, and F) Kernel density plots trace the frequency distribution of endosperm methylation differences for all 50-bp windows with an informative SNP. A shift of the peak with respect to zero represents a global difference; shoulders represent local differences.
