Distribution of gene region-specific methylation for genes overexpressed in fetal or adult liver. For all graphs, the density of fetal methylation is shown in blue and adult in red. Solid lines represent the density plots for genes that are 5-fold overexpressed in fetal liver (left) or adult liver (right). Results for genes that were equally expressed in fetal and adult liver (fetal:adult ratio of −1.1 to +1.1) are shown for comparison purposes as dotted lines. Methylation data were filtered based on a significant (q < 0.05) difference of at least 0.2. The graphs are grouped in rows based on gene regions: CpGs within 200 base pairs of the transcription start site (TSS200), within 1,500 base pairs of the transcription start site (TSS1500), or within the 5’UTR, 1st exon, gene body, or 3’UTR
