X-axis indicates the coverage (number of reads) of methylation sites, in log2 scale. Y-axis indicates the number of methylation sites. The higher coverage, larger confidence with the identified methylation site. Followed the recommendations by the PacBio, the 6mA or 4mC sites with less than 25-fold coverage per strand were removed from further analysis.
The modification score is defined as phred-transformed p-value that a kinetic deviation exists at the position according to the PacBio manual. The higher score, more reliable the identified methylation site. X-axis indicates the modification score of methylation sites, in log2 scale. Y-axis indicates the number of methylation sites. To gain a reliable modification site, the sites with modification score < 20 have been filtered out from further analysis.
To infer DNA methylation motif, we first extracted sequences between 4-nt upstream to 4-nt downstream of the modification site. Duplicated sequences were excluded and MEME (version: 4.11.1) was used to predict enriched motifs.
