Significant differences are highlighted in bold. "R" is used to specify different promoter regions: R1 is the Transcription Start Site (TSS), R3 [TSS -200 bp; TSS + 200 bp] and R6 [TSS -1500 bp; TSS]. G+C stands for the GC-content, Bock-comb is the combinatorial score (see http://epigraph.mpi-inf.mpg.de/download/CpG_islands_revisited/) of Bock CpG islands overlapping the TSS (R1 regions) and "unMeth prob in R3" is the mean probability of the R3 region to remain unmethylated. nucC and protC are the substitution probabilities per base/amino acid (hsa/mmu indicates that the values are based on pair wise alignments between human and mouse) and Nc is the codon bias. M is the abbreviation of "methylated".
