Table 3 An overview of basic RRBS statistics. Boar ejaculates (n = 18) from seven different individuals (boar A – G) after Day 4 of liquid preservation at 18 °C, based on their DFI value were divided into low (L), medium (M) and high (H) groups (six ejaculates each)

From: DNA methylation patterns vary in boar sperm cells with different levels of DNA fragmentation

  1. Clean reads were obtained after adapter and low-quality trimming of Illumina sequencing reads (total reads). Read coverage was calculated by dividing the clean reads with the in silico MspI-digested Sus scrofa genome. Mapping efficiency indicates the percentage of uniquely mapped clean reads with the S. scrofa 11.1, reference genome. CpG methylation shows the percentage of global methylation in clean reads. Downstream analyses were performed based on number of 10x CpGs. Bisulphite conversion rate shows the proportion of Cs deaminated to uracil
