First, we run scripts for allelic analysis of ATAC-seq from the time-course of mESC-to-NPC differentiation in iXist-ChrX-Dom cells: AllelicATAC_iXistChrXDom and then AllelicATAC_EDM. Plots which form the panels of Figure 2A can also be found within these records.

Following the first two scripts, the records of the analysis performed to generate all other R plots in the paper can be found below:

Figure1_chrRNA_ATAC

Figure2_YY1association

Figure3_YY1_OCT4_ChIP

Figure4_YY1degron_ChrRNA

FigureS3_YY1degron_DESeq2

FigureS4_SmcHD1ko_ATAC

Most files which are loaded by these scripts have been uploaded to the “files” folder of this Github repository. Some larger raw data files (eg genome-wide “counts tables” outputs from featureCounts) are not attached but can be downloaded from GEO. The specific GEO accessions are provided in the analysis records.
