Figure 5From: Non-exhaustive DNA methylation-mediated transposon silencing in the black truffle genome, a complex fungal genome with massive repeat element contentTE methylation in the proximity of genes with different expression levels. CG methylation levels of TEs located upstream or downstream of highly expressed genes (top 25%; red dots) and lowly expressed genes (bottom 25%; blue dots). Red (highly expressed genes) and blue (lowly expressed genes) lines represent the moving average of methylation levels in 100 bp windows. t-Test P-values of the differences in percentage TE methylation between highly and lowly expressed genes were 2.2 × 10-16 for TE-gene distances ≤0.5 kb and ≤10-5 for TE-gene distances between 0.5 and 1 kb.Back to article page
