Chromosomal domains with strongest changes in H3K9me2 Sum Log Ratio were determined for the six comparative categories of H3K9me2 dLOCKs: high in CD34+ vs. granulocyte (CD34+ > Granulocyte); high in granulocytes vs. CD34+ (Granulocyte > CD34+); high in CD34+ vs. AML cluster A (CD34+ > AML); high in AML cluster A vs. CD34+ (AML > CD34+); and high in granulocytes vs. AML A (CD34+ > AML); high in AML cluster A vs. granulocytes (AML > Granulocytes). Percent of the human genome, average LOCK size, total number of genes in dLOCKs, total number of dLOCKs, and average genes/dLOCKs are shown for each category with alpha > 0.90, 0.95, 0.99 and alpha < 0.10, 0.05, 0.01. Selected genomic features enriched more than 1.5 fold are shown for each category with alpha > 0.99 and alpha < 0.01.
