Fig. 1: GbM and teM are independent phenomena.

a, Frequency distributions of the number of genes classified as teM (blue), gbM (yellow) and UM (black) in 835 Arabidopsis accessions with >70% of genes called. b,c, Frequency distribution of gbM (b) and teM (c) conservation across 948 accessions within 24,465 genes with epigenetic state calls in >70% of accessions. d, Pearson’s correlation analysis between the number (N) of gbM and teM genes across accessions. e–g, Simulated (grey) and actual (green) mCG levels of all modelled genes (N = 6,736; e), genes with gbM frequency >99% and <100% in 740 accessions with global gbM similar to Col-066 (N = 1,273; f) and genes with 100% gbM frequency (N = 2,942; g), across the 740 accessions or 740 simulation iterations, so that e, for example, shows the distribution of ~5 million (6,736 × 740) empirical and ~5 million simulated mCG data points.
