DNA methylation profiles at differentially expressed gene flanking regions. Methylation levels in each context (CG, CHG and CHH) were computed for the flanking regions (2 Kb for CG and CHG, 1 Kb for CHH; see Methods) of differentially expressed genes and compared to the average of genes in the genome using regioneR permutation approach. For each bin, in each flanking region, the average methylation level is reported by means of heatmaps. Gradients of red and blue indicate methylation values statistically above or below the average of the whole gene set. Average methylation values and associated p-values are reported in Additional file 21
