SAR and MAR correlations with gene expression. The presence of S/MARs encompassing 20 kb region 5′ and 3′ of a gene, as well as within genes was compared with transcript presence using chi-square analysis (95% CI, 1 df with Yate's correction). The resulting P-values are displayed for each measurement with significance <0.05 indicated in bold. A SAR within 10 kb of the 5′ end region of a gene significantly correlates with gene expression. In contrast a MAR within a gene correlates with silencing of that gene. Direction of transcription is indicated by the arrow.
