Figure 4. Partition of the set of samples into subsets based on genome-wide methylation patterns.

(a,b) Discriminatory information conserved in two linear discriminate (LD) functions reveals the existence of genome-wide CG and CHG methylation patterns that discriminate the epiF3 lines from the subsets of mutants and wild types. (c,d) Loadings of group-wise DMRs in the LD functions indicate which DMRs have a relevant contribution in discerning between samples.
