DMRs: Differentially methylated regions. These include adjacent 100bp windows in which DNA methylation levels are significantly different between MAM-treated rats and Saline-control rats at FDR<0.05.

CGI: CpG island. Numbers shown indicate how many DMRs fall within a CGI; in some cases multiple DMRs fall within the same CGI.

The number of DMRs that intersect with one (or more) annotated genes (including those of uncertain function, e.g. LOC genes)
