From: Discordance of DNA Methylation Variance Between two Accessible Human Tissues
Correlation of DNA methylation was higher within than between tissues.
(a) Distribution of Pearson's correlation coefficient for correlations within BEC, within PBMC and between BEC and PBMC. In each instance, dashed lines represent the average correlation coefficient: within BEC = 0.980, within PBMC = 0.987, between tissue = 0.773. (b) Distribution of Pearson's correlation coefficient for BEC versus PBMC sample-wise correlation with CpG sites separated into four categories: low, intermediate and high CpG density and uncategorized. Low CpG density islands displayed the lowest correlation coefficients.
