Table 2.

Methylation levels are more consistent across species than across organs.

Hypomethylated CpG (<20%) Hypermethylated CpG > 80%


Organ Liver Brain p-value Liver Brain p-value
Mouse 62.7% 61.1% 0.5 24.35% 24.2% 0.5805
Zebrafish 24.1% 14.78% 0.03 63.4% 68.9% 0.2692
p-value 2.35e - 09 2.32e - 14 2.35e - 09 2.34e - 11

Ratios are the percent of methylated CpGs out of all the CpG10 detected. The p-value on the right is between liver and brain in mouse and zebrafish. The p-value on the bottom is between mouse and zebrafish in liver and brain.
