Methylation profile for three genes.

Abstract

<p>The red rectangle represents the portion of this gene that was amplified by the nested primers. Below the full gene figure is a zoom view of the amplified gene area. Below the amplified area are squares representing the methylation profile of the area. Open squares represent an unmethylated CpG. Black squares represent a methylated CpG. Red squares represent a methylated CpA, Blue squares represent a methlyated CpC, Green squares represent a Methylated CpT. “W” stands for “worker”. “Q” stands for “queen”. Below each methylation profile is an “N>1” sequence which displays sites found to be methylated in more than one sample. The number of squares represents the number of times the site was found. A “Q” or a “W” was placed under the site denoting if the multiple-sample site was relegated to that caste.</p
