Table 2. CpG dimer-level correlations between differential values for all bisulfite sequencing library pairs.

Pearson correlation values between WGBS, RRBS, and MREBS differential CpG dimer-level methylation estimates (EARLY—ESC), as well as differential read counts between all CpG dimers with at least two MREBS reads within a surrounding 1kb window. Red intensity signifies the strength of a positive correlation, while blue intensity signifies the strength of the anti-correlation.
