How to Isolate a Plant’s Hypomethylome in One Shot

Figure 6

A simulation performed in rice to estimate the minimal coverage necessary to identify the hypomethylome of the whole genome was performed by randomly selecting reads from the combined dataset with 7x coverage to represent different coverage thresholds. The reads were allocated to the genome sequence and compared to the result of the complete dataset (100%) regarding genome area, gene space area, gene area, and exon area.
