We selected the lymphotoxin-beta receptor ( Ltbr ) gene for RT-qPCR follow-up due to its trend toward significance in both brain regions (cortex FC = 1.60 and p = 0.098; cerebellum FC = 1.23 and p = 0.017).

The larger increase in DNA methylation in the cerebellum of females may correlate with a slight trend toward decreased Kdm4a expression in the ethanol-exposed group, though this will require replication with a larger sample size.
While this trend was in the same direction as observed for the qPCR array ( Table S6 ), ethanol-induced changes to Kmt5a did not reach statistical significance with this full set of samples, which suggested that only some animals were affected.
