Contribution of sequences with non-B DNA motifs toward gene expression
(A) Association between presence of different non-B DNA motifs and expression. Median differences in expression of sequences with and without each non-B DNA motif are shown. Error bars show standard deviation from bootstrapping.
(B) Comparative analysis of sequences with and without G4s and Z-DNA motifs.
(C) Comparative analysis of sequences with and without G4s and Z-DNA motifs controlling for GC content.
(B and C) Statistical significance was calculated with t tests and Bonferroni correction.
(D and E) Relative expression differences between the median expression for sequences with and without non-B DNA motifs and transcription factor binding sites in (D) HepG2 and (E) K562 lentiMPRA.
Statistical significance is estimated with t tests and Bonferroni correction. In (B) and (C), adjusted p values displayed as ∗p < 0.05, ∗∗p < 0.01, and ∗∗∗p < 0.001.
