From: The landscape of hervRNAs transcribed from human endogenous retroviruses across human body sites
Epigenetic regulation of hervRNAs. a The boxplot shows the distribution of the DNA methylation levels of expressed HERVs (TPM ≥ 0.1) and silent HERVs (TPM = 0) at each body site. The difference between the expressed HERVs and silent HERVs at each body site except for the testis was significant (P < 0.01, Wilcoxon rank-sum test). The center line indicates the median, the limits are the IQR, whiskers represent 1.5× the IQR, and individual black dots represent outliers. b Association between hervRNA expression and histone modification within each body site in each individual (from left to right: GTEX-1LVAN, GTEX-1LGRB, GTEX-1JKYN, and GTEX-1K2DA). c Association between the expression of each HERV locus and histone modification across all body sites
