From: Caenorhabditis elegans chromosome arms are anchored to the nuclear membrane via discontinuous association with LEM-2

Figure 4

Genes reside preferentially in the gaps between LEM-2 subdomains. (a) Coverage of genes within subdomains or gaps. Percentages of bases covered by transcribed regions are plotted. Box plot representation and the statistical analysis are according to Figure 3a. (b) Average counts of coding genes across LEM-2 subdomain-gap boundaries. The number of translation start sites within sliding 1-kb windows (500-bp offset) were counted for the 354 boundaries. The average gene count in each window is plotted. Average LEM-2 ChIP-chip MA2C scores of sliding windows (100-bp window, 50-bp offsets) are also plotted. (c) Same as (b) but genes with the indicated orientations are plotted separately.
