In a companion research article, we used Cas9-assisted targeted nanopore sequencing (CTS) to reveal that CRISPR-Cas9-induced DSBs can disrupt local epigenetic maintenance across multiple genomic contexts and cell systems. Here, we present a structured description of the raw and minimally processed datasets underlying the study. These datasets provide base-resolution measurements of 5-methylcytosine (5mC) and 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) at the differentially methylated regions (DMRs) of several imprinted loci, two heterochromatic regions, a cancer-associated promoter epimutation region, and the SNRPN DMR at early/late passages of a clonal line. They enable re-analysis and methodological benchmarking of DSB-associated epigenetic instability.</p><p><strong>Data description: </strong>We provide aligned BAM files and per-CpG methylation calls for multiple genomic contexts under both CRISPR-targeted and non-targeting control conditions. Specifically, the collection includes: (i) imprinted loci in human embryonic stem cells (hESCs), including small nuclear ribonucleoprotein polypeptide N (SNRPN), paternally expressed 10 (PEG10), and KCNQ1 opposite strand/antisense transcript 1 (KCNQ1OT1), (ii) heterochromatic regions in hESCs, including urothelial cancer associated 1 (UCA1), and cysteine rich C-terminal 1 (CRCT1)), (iii) the epimutation locus of MutL homolog 1 (MLH1) in RKO cells, and (iv) the DMR of SNRPN locus in early- and late-passage derivatives of a single hESC clone. For each collection, there is a dataset that includes both the raw aligned Nanopore sequencing reads (BAM) deposited in the NCBI Sequence Read Archive (SRA) and the corresponding processed per-CpG 5mC/5hmC matrices deposited in Zenodo. All higher-level analyses in the research article-such as DMR calling, haplotype-resolved analyses, and structural variant (SV) characterization-are fully reproducible using these deposited data. Additional processed analyses are comprehensively documented in the companion article and are therefore not duplicated here. Together, these datasets offer a rich resource for benchmarking long-read methylation analysis workflows and further investigation of DSB-associated epigenetic instability across diverse genomic contexts.</p>","PeriodicalId":9234,"journal":{"name":"BMC Research Notes","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2026-03-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13088674/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147430987","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Its significance in plant growth has prompted numerous studies. However, the knowledge about its role in plant tissue cultures is still limited. In an attempt to understand the role and effect of silicon on plant growth, morphologically and physiologically, in vitro, regenerated fig (Ficus carica var. Sultany) was used to study this purpose.</p><p><strong>Materials and methods: </strong>Silicon as potassium silicate (K<sub>2</sub>O.4SiO<sub>2</sub>; PS) was added to the MS medium at 0 (PS0), 0.1 (PS1), 1.0 (PS2), and 10.0 (PS3) mg L<sup>- 1</sup>. After four subcultures, morphological measurements and contents of element compounds, including N, P, K, Na, Ca, Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu, Ni, Cr, Cd, Pb, and As, were determined in treated shoots, high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was used to identify and quantify phenolic compounds, total phenolic, and flavonoid contents, while free radical scavenging activities were determined using 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) assays.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Results showed that adding silicate at 1.0 mg L<sup>- 1</sup> enhanced shoot number, leaf number, chlorophyll, growth vigour, leaf area, fresh and dry weight, and significantly reduced vitrification. Nineteen compounds were identified, with fig shoot extracts showing significant variation in the contents of phenolic acids and flavonoids.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>The use of potassium silicate enhanced fig growth, elemental content, and pharmacological components; however, a high rate (10.0 mg L<sup>- 1</sup>) diminished most parameters, with the exception of Na and Cr.
