Fig. 1.

Raw observations and distribution of the global DNA methylation. The beanplots [91] show the single observations as stacked small lines in a one-dimensional scatter plot, surrounded by the probability density function (pdf) of the distributions. Each panel displays a single subset of the data (Table 1). It is composed of two beanplots of which the upper shows the raw methylation data based on the LINE-1 assay (dark colored, with different color of each data subset) and the lower shows the data based on the LUMA assay (light colored). Box and whisker plots of the identical data are overlaid on the beanplots. They have been constructed using the minimum, quartiles, median (solid line within the box), and maximum. Outliners are shown as points
