Figure 4.

Cohesive sites overlap highly transcribed RNAPII regions. (A) Pie-chart showing overlap between Mis4+/Rad21+ loci and RNAPII genes, with a mere 4% overlap with only RNAPIII genes. (B) Pie-chart showing overlap between Rad21+ loci and RNAPII and RNAPIII genes. (C) Histogram showing the distribution of RNAPII genes versus gene expression in non-cohesin associated genes (blue bars, 1412 genes), cohesive (red bars, 91 genes) and non-cohesive loci (green bars, 187 genes). (D) Boxplots showing expression levels (Reads per Kilobase per Million; RPKM) of genes that overlap with Mis4+/Rad21+ and Rad21+ sites. P < 10−9, Wilcoxon Rank Sum test. (E) Boxplots showing expression level (reads per kilobase per million; RPKM) of genes that overlap with Ssl3+/Rad21+ and Rad21+ sites. P < 10−7, Wilcoxon Rank Sum test. (F) Graph showing Swi6 occupancy at Mis4+/Rad21+ and Rad21+ loci. (G) Boxplots showing Mis4+/Rad21+ sites overlap with highly expressed genes in comparison to Rad21+ sites, including or excluding Swi6 loci. Changes in gene expression of Mis4+/Rad21+/Swi6− loci compared to Mis4+/Rad21+/Swi6+ loci and Rad21+/Swi6− loci compared to Rad21+/Swi6+ loci are not significant. Changes in gene expression of Mis4+/Rad21+/Swi6− loci compared to Rad21+/Swi6− loci and Mis4+/Rad21+/Swi6+ loci compared to Rad21+/Swi6+ loci are significant (P < 10−9, Wilcoxon Rank Sum test).
