Fig. 2. Loss of H2A.W alters non-CG DNA methylation patterns.
a CG, CHG, and CHH methylation levels over TEs in pericentromeres and chromosome arms in WT and h2a.w-2. TEs were aligned at the 5′ (left dashed line) and 3′ end (right dashed line), and sequences 3 kb upstream or downstream were included, respectively. Average methylation over 100 bp bins is plotted. b CHG and CHH methylation levels over H2A.W peaks in the chromosome arms and pericentromeres. c Locally weighted scatterplot smoothing (LOESS) fit of CHG and CHH methylation levels in WT and h2a.w-2 calculated in 50 bp windows and plotted against TE size. d Kernel density plots of CHH DNA methylation differences between h2a.w-2 and WT at CMT2-dependent and DRM1/2-dependent regions.
