a The number of methylated CG sites in fertilized (purple) and thelytokous (green) embryos. 74,498 sites were methylated in both samples. Fertilized embryos had 21,202 unique methylated CG sites (18,456 additional sites were methylated in fertilized embryos with insufficient coverage to determine methylation in the thelytokous embryo sample). Thelytokous embryos had 16,004 unique methylated CG sites (9,471 additional sites were methylated in thelytokous embryos with insufficient coverage to determine methylation in the fertilized embryo sample). b The number of genes containing hypermethylated CG sites in fertilized and thelytokous embryos. Six hundred ninety-six genes contained hypermethylated CG sites in fertilized embryos, while 294 genes contained hypermethylated CG sites in thelytokous embryos. One hundred fifty-nine genes contained some hypermethylated CG sites in fertilized embryos, and some hypermethylated CG sites in thelytokous embryos
