Expression and methylation level of LncRNAs and there target genes in ovary, ovariotestis and testis of Monopterus albus. A expression profile of MSTRG.12998 and ptk2β in ovary, ovariotestis and testis detected by qRT-PCR; B expression location of MSTRG.12998 and ptk2β in ovary, ovariotestis and testis detected by In Situ Hybridization; C DNA methylation level of MSTRG.12998 in ovary, ovariotestis and testis of Monopterus albus. D expression profile of MSTRG.38036 and psmβ8 in ovary, ovariotestis and testis detected by qRT-PCR; E expression location of MSTRG.38036 and psmβ8 in ovary, ovariotestis and testis detected by In Situ Hybridization; F DNA methylation level of MSTRG.38036 and psmβ8 in ovary, ovariotestis and testis of Monopterus albus. The different lowercase letters indicated the significant difference in lncRNAs expression between gonad of different stage (P < 0.05). The different capital letters indicated the significant difference in target genes expression between gonad of different stage (P < 0.05). In Fig. 4C and F, top row indicated the lncRNA promoter methylation sites and the numerical values in the right label indicated the mean methylation level of each group.
