Genome browser overview of the miR-21 TSS region elements. This UCSC genome browser (Kent et al., 2002) view of the miR-21 TSS depicts the following genomic elements. 1: The genomic region evaluated for methylation status in this work, 2: the genomic segment in which the miR-21 TSS is located as reported by three independent research groups (Team, 2002; Cai et al., 2004; Ribas and Lupold, 2010); 3, 4, and 5: the position of Sharma et al.’s (2015) motif indicated for preferential non-CpG de-methylation upon M. tuberculosis infection
