a "d", intergenic distance; "#CTCF", number of overlapping CTCF-binding sites; "ΔCpG O/E", difference in upstream DNA methylation.

b P values show the probabilities of the observations under the hypothesis of no correlation.

c Spearman's partial correlation coefficient ρp is computed by controlling for the other two genomic properties listed in a
