Characteristics of dynamic DMRs
(A) Percent of DMRs that are dynamic at each time point in the whole bone marrow from Dnmt3afl/fl + Tam (takeaway) and Dnmt3a−/− + Dox (addback) mice. Dynamic DMRs are defined as those that have a change in beta value of >0.2 from baseline where baseline for takeaway and addback are defined as values in Dnmt3afl/fl – Tam (WT) and Dnmt3a−/- for individual DMRs, respectively.
(B) Venn diagram showing overlap between dynamic DMRs identified in Dnmt3afl/fl + Tam (takeaway; red) and Dnmt3a−/− + Dox (addback; blue) mice at week 1, and at weeks 22/24. The dynamic DMRs found in week 1 are classified as rapid dynamic DMRs.
(C) Example of a rapid dynamic DMR within the Meis1 gene. The gene structure is shown below, genomic location (assembly mm10) shown above, individual CpGs are represented by colored bars, y -axis is mean methylation of CpGs, time is given in weeks, and the DMR is highlighted in the gray box. DMR; differentially methylated region, Dox; doxycycline, tam; tamoxifen. Time is shown in weeks.
