Fig. 1

Chromosome distribution of A 123 differentially methylated cytosines (DMCs) and B 42 differentially methylated regions (DMRs) between two Nelore groups of divergent phenotypes for shear force at 14 days of aging. Only DMCs and DMRs showing q value < 0.05 and differences in methylation > 25% between groups are shown. The asterisks at the top of the represented DMCs and DMRs show which methylation feature overlapped with tenderness-related QTLs found in our population or QTL database. Blue bars represent DMCs or DMRs that were hypermethylated in animals with tender beef, while red bars represent those hypomethylated in the same group. The color gradient represents the difference of methylation (%) between the divergent groups
