Methylation data from Pseudotaxus chienii obtained using methylation-dependent restriction-site associated DNA sequencing.

ABSTRACT: Pseudotaxus chienii is an endangered coniferous plant that is endemic to China. Because P. chienii is sessile and has a long life cycle, its options for responding to drastic or rapid changes in climate are limited. To survive locally, P. chienii must be able to adapt, and the species shows variations in leaf size along an environmental gradient from east to west. It is important to determine whether this phenotypic variation is driven by DNA methylation. Therefore, we performed a preliminarily survey using methylation-dependent restriction-site associated DNA sequencing (MethylRAD) to investigate the methylation status of three P. chienii individuals from heterogeneous ecological niches. In total, 372,611 CCGG tags and 726,332 CCHGG tags were obtained. The rate
