Figure Lengend Snippet: CTCF mutations have unique chromatin binding profiles (A) Scheme showing the locations of the CTCF mutations within the ZF. The consensus CTCF motif highlights the triplet to which each mutant ZF binds (top). The most common motif for the de novo binding sites is shown below. Each bar graph shows the percentage of WT-only, common, and mutant-only CTCF binding sites. The heatmaps show the profile of CTCF and ATAC-seq signal at those sites. The UN condition corresponds to the FLAG control. (B) Profiles of ATAC-seq in WT and mutants. Wilcoxon p values were coded as follow: NS, not significant, ∗5 × 10 −2 –5 × 10 −3 , ∗∗5 × 10 −3 –5 × 10 −4 , ∗∗∗5 × 10 −4 –5 × 10 −5 , ∗∗∗∗<5 × 10 −5 . Data were generated on 2 replicates.
