Fig. 4: DNA methylation differences between cord and adult blood cells by cell type and lineages.

We performed an EWAS comparing cord to adult samples for each cell type, retaining sites with a p value < 9 × 10−8 and a mean DNA methylation difference >10% (visualized in Supplementary Fig. 3). UpSet plot indicating overlaps between significantly differentially methylated CpGs between cord and adult blood in the six cell types, with the number of those which are mQTLs in cord, adult, or both cord and adult indicated using greyscale bars.
