^#Each dataset was denoted by the following nomenclature: initial character of the cancer type followed by the total number of samples of the dataset.

*DM-S denotes DM genes from the shorter list;

**DM-L denotes DM genes from the longer list.

^$POG₁₂ denotes the score from the shorter list to the longer list;

^$$POG₂₁ denotes the score from the longer list to the shorter list.

^¥Consistency denotes the percentage of overlapping genes which showed the same methylation directions across the two datasets.
