¹ QV = quality value

Methylation motifs were identified using the PacBio SMRT Analysis software (see Methods). Column 2 shows the sequence consensus of the motif, whereby non-uniform positions are represented by IUPAC ambiguity codes. Column 3 and 4 denote the position of the modified base within the motif and the type of methylation. Column 5 represents the fraction of a motif’s occurrences in the genome (column 7) for which a methylation has been detected (column 6). Column 8 and 9 denote the average modification quality (in Phred Q-scores) and average coverage of motifs detected as modified. The last column shows the partner motif, i.e. the reverse complement of the motif
