H3K36me2&3 are associated with transcriptional regulation in stage II gametocytes. a Average transcript abundance (log2Cy5/Cy3) on days 0–7 of gametocyte (GC) development [36] for genes with H3K36me2&3 enrichment in coding regions (CDR, blue), 1.5 kb upstream of TSSs (TSS, red) or both (gold) with ribbons representing ± S.D. They grey shadowed region highlights days on which H3K36me2&3-associated transcriptional changes are most prominent. b The 420 H3K36me2&3-enriched and repressed genes were grouped into those associated with proliferation (178 genes, green) that are significantly associated (P < 0 .05) with the biological processes indicated. The number of enriched genes is represented as a % of all background genes associated with the biological processes. Legend: ar. = arrest; nucl. = nucleosome; assemb. = assembly; replic. = replication; mod. = modification; var. = variation. Full descriptions of gene names and their PlasmoDB IDs are available in Additional file 2: Table S4
