a Identification of paternal specifically expressed genes (PEGs) and maternal specifically expressed genes (MEGs) from the reciprocal hybrid (ZM and MZ) zygotes. Genes in green are parental sequence-specific genes. The other genes are labeled in gray, most of which are enriched in maternal reads shown by the density plots along the x- and y-axis. b Expression levels of the PEGs identified from the reciprocal hybrid zygotes in sperm, egg and zygote (with maternal and paternal alleles separated). Genes with functional annotation are in black. c Genome browser screenshots of DNA methylation of 9 PEGs in ZM zygote (ZM-Z), ZS97 egg (ZS-E), MH63 sperm (MH-S), paternal-allele in ZM zygote (pat), and maternal-allele in ZM zygote (mat). Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
