Atrazine globally affects the distributions of H3K4me3 peaks. a The distribution of differential H3K4me3 peaks within genic and intergenic regions. The differential peaks were identified as described in the Material and Methods section; the genic regions are sequences located within genes (sequence within gene +/− 1 kb), while the intergenic regions are places that do not overlap the genic regions. The majority of differential peaks are located in the genic regions. b The genome-wide distribution of differential H3K4me3 peaks in treated samples: the X-axis shows the chromosome coordinates; the Y-axis shows the chromosome number, and the red bars show the positions of the differential peaks on the chromosomes. The number of peaks per chromosome correlates with chromosome length; the longest, chromosome 1, has the greatest number of differential peaks (numbers in brackets indicate the percent of differential peaks located within a chromosome)
