Effects of increasing methylated CpG density in the nucleosome core on nucleosome occupancy and the ratio of methylated CpG density in core versus linker DNA. Boxplots display the distribution of nucleosome occupancy as a function of the number of CpGs (a), the number of methylated CpGs (c), the number of unmethylated CpGs (d), G + C content (g), and G + C-CpG content (i) for all nucleosomes in the genome outside of CpG islands. Boxplots also show the distribution of DNA methylation levels (b), G + C content (f), and G + C-CpG content (h) as a function of the number of CpGs. e Boxplots show the distribution of the ratios of methylated CpG density per base pair in the core versus linker DNA as a function of the number of CpGs.
