Table 3. Distribution of differentially methylated regions (DMRs).

Thousands of DMRs in the liver were associated with maternal diet. Low-fat offspring had more DMRs than high-fat offspring. There were more than twice as many DMRs on the X-chromosome when comparing between sexes than within sexes. HF = High-fat diet, LF = Low-fat diet, the first diet listed is maternal diet and the second diet is the offspring diet, N = 2 libraries of 5 mice each (10 mice total) per maternal-diet-offspring-diet-sex group.
