DNA Methylation Patterns in the Hibernating Chinese Alligator

(A) Percentage of methylated cytosines (mC) identified in each sequence context

(B) Average mC level in each indicated sequence context.

(C) mC densities and levels in six chordate species.

(D) DNA methylation levels in different gene features in the Chinese alligator. Promoters encompass 2 kb upstream of the transcription start site.

(E) DNA methylation levels in CG island (CGI), simple-sequence repeat (SSR), and transposable element (TE) regions and 2 kb upstream and downstream.

(F) DNA methylation level in the CG context of each tissue in inactive (winter) and active (summer) periods.
