Fig. 1. Differential FIREs are associated with cell-type-specific gene regulation.

Fig. 1

a The number of FIREs detected in NeuN+ and NeuN− cells. b Differential FIREs were identified in NeuN+ and NeuN− cells. c, d Differential FIREs overlap with differential H3K27ac peaks in the corresponding cell types. A neuronal gene, GRIN2B, is located in NeuN+ specific FIREs (e), while two oligodendrocytic genes, OLIG1 and OLIG2, are located in NeuN− specific FIREs (f). FIREs and significance of FIRE scores in NeuN+ and NeuN− cells are depicted in green and purple, respectively. Boxplots in the right show expression levels of GRIN2B (FDR = 3.71e−12), OLIG1 (FDR = 7.34e−26) and OLIG2 (FDR = 8.06e−23) in NeuN+ (n = 4) and NeuN− (n = 4) cells.

The red line denotes FDR = 0.05. i Cellular expression levels of genes assigned to differential NeuN+ and NeuN− FIREs. Center, median; box = Q1−Q3; minima, Q1 − 1.5 × IQR; maxima, Q3 + 1.5 × IQR.
