Extended Data Fig. 8: Permutation results for CpG sites and patient categorization.
From: Epigenetic fingerprints link early-onset colon and rectal cancer to pesticide exposure
The violin plots show the results from the permutation tests. A. The stability of the CpGs in each MRS was tested using 10,000 permutations. The red asterisks reflect the p-values obtained using the CpGs included in our MRSs. B. The patient categorization is tested using 1,000 permutations. The red asterisks reflect the p-values categorization using age at diagnosis for each MRS. Box plots show the median (center line), interquartile range (box), and whiskers extending to the most extreme values within 1.5×IQR; points beyond represent outliers.
