Table 2 Regulatory region DMRs were often linked to multiple genes and had little relationship to TEs

  1. In both A and B, cells contain odds-ratios (top) and uncorrected p-values (bottom) from Fisher’s exact test, and highly significant results (p<6e-5) are in bold. A: Significance of overlaps between different types of DMR-regulatory region hits (see Figure 1d). Type-1: within 5kb of a gene but outside the body. Type-2: overlapping any of the first or last 1kb of a gene. Type-3: a type-1 or type-2 DMR for one gene that was also within the body of another gene on the opposite strand. Empty cells are either a redundant or undefined comparison, e.g. by definition 5’ and 3’ type-1 DMRs cannot overlap any part of a gene body so there were no overlaps with type-2/3. B: TEs in gene bodies and regulatory regions were predictive of DMRs in gene bodies but not regulatory regions. Significance of overlaps between genes based on whether they had a DMR in their body or regulatory region (columns) and a TE in their body, regulatory region and body (+body), or regulatory region and not body (-body, rows)
