Genes associated with MNase-sensitivity.

Parg(110)−/− (PargKO), PJ34, Wildtype controls: groups of sperm samples analyzed for gene histone association by tiling arrays with genomic “input” correction. Numbers of genes with significant histone binding in sperm are indicated. ♂ [n]: numbers of males. PargA/Wt, PJ34A/Wt, etc.: sperm samples of single males (♂, n = 1) analyzed for sperm histone association after pair-wise comparison to wild-type samples. Total genes [n]: number of sperm genes (differentially) associated with histones, indiscriminate whether sensitivity was increased (MAT+ genes [n]) or decreased (MAT− genes [n]). Please note that a number of genes were associated with both (MAT+ and MAT−) fractions. All Parg/Wt, All PJ34/Wt: comparison of all Parg(110)−/− males (n = 10) with wild-type (n = 9) males or males treated with PJ34 (n = 4) with wild-type control males (n = 9).
