From: The methylome of the marbled crayfish links gene body methylation to stable expression of poorly accessible genes

Fig. 6

Gene body methylation in marbled crayfish stabilizes gene expression of poorly accessible genes. Housekeeping genes are commonly found in chromatin with limited accessibility and are usually methylated (upper panel). This results in a more stable expression when compared with other genes, which are low-methylated and packaged in more accessible chromatin (lower panel). Black filled circle, methylated CpG. Empty circle, unmethylated CpG
