Table 5. Distribution of significant differentially methylated regions (DMRs) (p < 0.01) across the genome associated with maternal diet.

Values indicate the number of 500 base-pair windows overlapping each genomic region, with the percent of the total significant DMRs overlapping these regions in parentheses. As a comparison, the percentage of windows across the whole genome that overlap these genomic regions is listed, demonstrating how overrepresented the DMRs are in regulatory regions.
