Chromatin structural changes around female-specific repeats W3, W4 and W5 during the life cycle of S. mansoni from miracidia (black) to cercariae (grey) and adult couples (white). Measured by ChIP-Seq (upper panel) and ChIP-qPCR (all other panels). Average of three independent ChIP-qPCR experiments, two ChIP-Seq experiments for miracidia and a single ChIP-Seq experiment for cercariae and adults.
