Table 10. The distribution of promoter usage; CpG-richness and AP usage are considered to highlight differences between SCs and non SCs.

Promoter type Mean±Standard Deviation P-value
SC NC
CpG-rich 41.33±3.48 34.15±2.44 0.0001072
CpG-less 53.52±3.07 59.65±2.61 0.0007695
CpG-mixed 5.15±1.79 6.20±0.68 0.04948
AP 19.89±3.20 20.52±1.88 0.5677

P-values calculated using the Welch two sample t-tests. The promoter classifications rely on the methods described in part 3 ( Fig 1 ). The notes for Table 5 provide further explanations.
