  1. ...the . CpG loci tend to be found in dense clusters in gene promoters called CpG islands (CGIs), and differential methylation of these CGIs plays an important role in gene regulation (Schmitz et al. 2019). Although this relationship between CGI methylation and gene expression regulation is thought...
  2. ...-Toneu and Peters 2023). A number of studies have mapped the locations of retained nucleosomes, with the majority of reports in humans and mice finding nucleosomes enriched at CpG island regulatory elements associated with key developmental genes (Arpanahi et al. 2009; Hammoud et al. 2009; Brykczynska et al. 2010...
  3. ...of million years of independent evolution, recapitulating the discovery made by Zhang et al. (2016). Even conserved CpG islands between these two species are sparse. However, except for a few species-specific transposable elements, the displayed regions are hypomethylated, with an average methylation of 0...
  4. ...such as horses (Haase et al. 2007), cattle (Durkin et al. 2012; Küttel et al. 2019; Artesi et al. 2020) and pigs (Rubin et al. 2012; Fontanesi 2022).We also observe that the colored-head associated “deletion” allele (with respect to the Hereford-based ARS-UCD1.2 reference) is extremely common and therefore most...
  5. ...displaying CpG dinucleotides (orange lines) forming a CpG island (pink bar). The positions of primers used to assess L1RSPRDM4 methylation via locus-specific bisulfite sequencing in panel C are shown. The second panel displays animal ON22213 ONT read alignments, with unmethylated CpGs colored in blue...
  6. ...islands scores as the observed frequency of CpG dinucleotides compared to their expected frequency given the G + C content of a region. We found that these scores, when calculated for the 350 bases upstream of each gene, are significantly correlated with active tRNA genes (Spearman's rank correlation, P...
  7. ...Bismark v0.19.0 (Krueger and Andrews 2011). We only kept CpG sites with at least fivefold coverage for subsequent analyses. We employed an entropy-based framework to determine tissue-specific DNA methylation regions, as implemented in the SMART2 software (Liu et al. 2015). We only considered tissue...
  8. ...Lohuizen 2008; Schwartz and Pirrotta 2008). Large-scale studies revealed that PcG-dependent H3K27 methylation is not a universal mechanism for the repression of all inactive genes, but instead represses a restricted subset of genes, typically CpG island genes encoding for developmental regulators (Boyer et...
  9. ...the function of these histone modifications at regulatory elements is still unclear (Calo and Wysocka 2013), it suggests conserved targeting mechanisms of the histone modifying enzymes to chromatin. Studies in mammalian cells have shown that H3K4me3 at CpG islands inhibits the methylation of CpGs (Ooi et al...
  10. ...MLT1 and MLT2 represent the ancestral mammalian LTR subgroups, and theMT, ORR1, andMT2 subgroups radiated during rodent evolution (Fig. 1A–C; Supplemental Fig. S1B). Sequence analysis also showed that, except for MT2, ERVL LTRs are depleted of CpG dinucleotides, suggesting that MT2 LTRs evolved...
