DNA methylation and CTCF binding are inversely correlated at VM-IAPs. There is an inverse relationship between CTCF ChIP-qPCR fold enrichment (relative to CTCF enrichment at IAP-Ell2) and DNA methylation (measured by bisulphite pyrosequencing) in eight liver samples at IAP-Marveld2 and IAP-Tfpi. Each coloured point represents the average methylation of the four distal CpGs in the LTR of an individual. The colours represent the same individuals across both plots and show that the relative order of CTCF binding is not the same in each element. P-values are from two-tailed Pearson test
