Effects of jmj706/707 mutations on DNA methylation in male sex cells. a Comparison of overall TE methylation levels in wild type and jmj706/707 mutant meiocyte (Me) and sperm (S). Values of the methylomes are averages from the two replicates. The average methylation levels (white dots) and median values (black bars) are shown. b Density plots of CHG methylation differences between jmj706/707 mutant and wild-type meiocyte (upper) and sperm (lower) (black lines). The red traces are density plots confined to the hypo DMRs between meiocyte and microspore (Me-UM) (upper) or between sperm and microspore (S-UM) (lower). c Box plots showing DNA methylation levels of 50-bp hypo-CHG methylation regions in wild type meiocyte (Me) (upper) and sperm (S) (lower) relative to microspore (UM) and in jmj706/707 meiocyte (j67-Me) and sperm (j67-S). The significance was calculated with multiple comparison tests. Different letters on top of the bars indicate a significant difference (p < 0.05). d Genome browser screen shots showing low CHG methylation sites in meiocyte (upper) or sperm (lower) relative to microspore but elevated in j67 mutants.
