DNA Methylation and Expression Variability in Blattella germanica
The coefficient of variation (CV) of gene expression for methylated and unmethylated genes between the two biological replicates generated from a pool of specimens for each of the developmental transcriptomes studied. Data outliers have been omitted for clarity; the developmental stages studied were: NFE: non-fertilized egg; ED0 to ED13: embryo day 0 to embryo day 13; N1-N6: first to sixth nymphal instar; and the adult (Ylla et al., 2018). The four asterisks indicate statistically significant differences using the Mann-Whitney U test, adjusting p values by False Discovery Rate using the Benjamini-Hochberg method (FDR <0.0001).
