Methylation levels in six tissues of R. ferrumequinum. Data are presented as the mean ± SE. Asterisks indicate significant differences: **, p < 0.01; *** p < 0.001.
Epigenetic differentiation among six R. ferrumequinum tissues. (a) Clustering tree based on Nei’s unbiased epigenetic distance matrix. (b) Between-group eigen analysis using PCA values based on the epigenetic covariance matrix; the F1 and F2 axes explain 77.3% of the total variance (p < 0.001).
