Methylation levels in upstream regions of genes. a Frequency of Mariner, Harbinger and Helitron elements in the region 10 kb upstream and 2 kb downstream of the predicted transcription start site (TSS). b Relative methylation levels surrounding the TSS calculated in bins of 1000 bp. We compared average methylation levels of 1763 genes that contain a Mariner element in the upstream region with those of genes that do not have such elements in their upstream region. c Same as in (b) with 759 genes with Harbinger elements. d Same as in (b) with 506 genes with Helitrons. Relative methylation levels in CG and CHG sites levels drop sharply while CHH levels are higher in the bins surrounding the TSS for genes that contain Mariner and Harbinger elements. This effect cannot be observed for Helitrons
