Additional file 1:
The methyl cohort. A list of chromosomes whose methylation was predicted by meDIP-seq and validated by bisulfite-PCR or qPCR. Columns labeled as 'signal' indicate the number of meDIP-seq reads at 46 h less the number of reads from vegetative DNA. For columns labeled 'bisulfite-qPCR' and '40 h dAza demethylated?', bold font denotes statistically significant effects relative to vegetative or untreated controls (Student's 1-tailed t-test for unequal variance, p < 0.05), while a 'yes' indicates an effect that was observed but did not reach statistical significance. 'n/a' indicates that the test was not performed.
