The dramatic temporal changes in DNA methylation at fetal dDMPs is limited to the prenatal period. A Correlation of DNA methylation changes during fetal development (X-axis) and postnatal aging (Y-axis) at 176,624 dDMPs tested in both fetal and adult pancreas. No pancreas dDMPs were significantly associated with age in the postnatal pancreas. B DNA methylation at pancreas dDMPs was dramatically more variable in fetal pancreas samples than postnatal pancreas samples. Shown is the distribution of variance in DNA methylation across the 10,000 most significantly dDMPs in fetal pancreas samples (pink) (variance = 0.0150) compared to the variance in DNA methylation at the same sites in adult pancreas samples (blue) (0.0013). C DNA methylation at pancreas dDMPs was dramatically different between early fetal (6—8 PCW) and adult pancreas samples at the 10,000 most significant dDMPs. D In contrast, DNA methylation at pancreas dDMPs was highly correlated between early fetal (6—8 PCW) and adult pancreas samples at the same dDMPs (corr = 0.70)
