Fig. 6From: The transcriptome of zinc deficient maize roots and its relationship to DNA methylation lossRelationship between gene expression and differential DNA methylation (a) Overlap between differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and differentially methylated genes (DMGs) in CG context (left) and CHG context (right). 8% or 3% of DMGs were also differentially expressed, respectively. b P values of Fisher’s exact test for correlations between DMRs in genes, promoters and neighboring TEs. c Scatterplots of differentially methylated genes that were also differentially expressed. Left: DMRs in adjacent TEs in CG context; middle: DMRs in adjacent TEs in CHG context; right: DMRs in promoters or gene bodies. d, e Examples for differentially methylated genes in CG context with differential expression. White arrow = gene expression up/down, black arrow = methylation up/down, red = forward strand, blue = reverse strand (d) DMRs in gene bodies/promoters of differentially expressed genes. e DMRs in TEs nearby differentially expressed genesBack to article page
