  1. Only DMR that were significant at P < 0.001 are included
  2. *DMR detected in one window alone were considered “single-window” variants (Fig. 2)
  3. **DMR detected in two or more adjacent windows were considered “multiple-window” variants and used in subsequent analyses (Figs. 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6)
