Figure 1

Promoter region of the human gene KDM1A showing CGIs and methylation data for PBMC cells. The lifted homologous CGIs from six other species are shown for comparison. The small methylated human CGI is conserved in three primate species, while the larger unmethylated human CGI is not only conserved in some primates but also in the mouse.
