Figure 3

Characterization of the methylation patterns on the ELOVL6 gene promoter. (A) Schematic representation of the transcription factor binding elements studied, together with the CpG-sites analyzed in the methylation study. (B) Plot showing the percentages of methylation observed for each CpG-site in four porcine tissues: liver, backfat, muscle and spleen. Data represent means ± SEM. Values with different superscript letters (a, b, c and d) indicate significant differences between groups (p-value < 0.05), as determined by a linear model in R.
