Forkhead box transcription factor M1 was correlated with DOT1L‐mediated H3K79me2 modification. (A) Representative genome‐browser view of H3K4me3, H3K36me3, H3K79me2 ChIP‐Seq for Homo sapiens colon colorectal cancer cell line HCT116 and monocytes CD14+ cells at the FOXM1 on chromosome 12. The Y‐axis indicated the peak height and the X‐axis indicated the genomic location. (B) and (D) The correlation between FOXM1, MLL1 (histone methyltransferase of H3K4me3), and DOT1L (histone methyltransferase of H3K79me2) transcripts in patients with pancreatic cancer was examined analyzing 131 patients (GSE62165).
