a

Statistical criteria were adapted for each analysis to suite the differing platforms and value distributions, thus making the number of genes/proteins identified as significantly associated with U-tAs not directly comparable across molecular endpoints

b

CpG sites were previously identified by Rojas et al. (2015), and filtered here to include those annotated to known genes

c

miRNAs were previously identified by Rager et al. (2014)

d

mRNAs were previously identified by Rager et al. (2014), and filtered here to includemRNAs annotated to known genes. These 315 mRNAs were represented by 364 probeset IDs.

e

Proteins were previously identified by Bailey et al. (2014). These 111 proteins were represented by 114 array probes.
