Fig. 6.From: Multi-species annotation of transcriptome and chromatin structure in domesticated animalsRelationship between chromatin accessibility conservation and differential accessibility Phastcons scores of ATAC-seq human hits were plotted after dividing the human hits according to both their similarity level (between 1 and 4, x-axis) and their differential accessibility (DA) status (DA in at least one species or DA in none of the 4 species, boxplot color). Although the phastcons score obviously increases with the similarity level, it is clear that, for a given similarity level, the phastcons score is higher for DA human hits than for non DA human hits (all similarity levels except 3, p values <0.01 overall, Wilcoxon tests) (number of elements in the boxplots from left to right: 163509, 21578, 16329, 4437, 6231, 6231, 2241, 878, 417)Back to article page
