Correlation between methylcytosine and endodermal lineage markers.

*R = Pearson's correlation between the mean nuclear intensities of MeC and protein marker.No significant correlation between the nuclear abundance of the two protein markers, FoxA2 and Sox17, and the MeC load was measured for mES cells 24 hours post seeding (24 hps)/before induction of differentiation and during the first six days in the early development of cells. The analysis was performed for three sets of data for each of the three sampling days: including all cells co-stained for the three targets (total cells), and smaller subsets of these cells that display an overall marker expression >1-fold and >2-fold standard deviation above the average nuclear intensity (high-expressor cells and highest-expressor cells, respectively).
