Fig. 1: Systematic analysis of chromodomain proteins in C. elegans.

a Phylogenetic tree of chromodomain proteins in C. elegans (purple) and H. sapiens (black). Four conserved families are indicated by shadows in different colors, CHD family (red), HP1 family (green), histone acetyltransferase family (purple), and Msl-3 homolog family (blue). b Schematic diagram for systematic analysis of chromodomain proteins. See text for details. c Summary of the expression patterns of chromodomain proteins in the indicated cells. d Curve graph showing the expression profiles of chromodomain proteins in the germline. Mean ± SD; 4 germlines were used for calculation of each chromodomain protein. e Distribution of ChIP-seq signals of active (red), repressive (blue) chromatin marks (upper panel), and chromodomain proteins (lower panel) on chromosome III (left panel) and X (right panel). Chromodomain protein tracks are shown in different colors. CHD family (green), proteins with no clear homolog in human (purple), HP1 family (yellow), and Msl-3 homolog family (red). The development stage of animals for each sample is noted as E (embryos), L (larval), and A (adult). Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
