P.7 left column bottom paragraph: "Like genetic mutations, CG epimutations are not uniformly distributed across the genome, but vary in rate between different annotation contexts [primary source, refs 76, 77, 112]. In A. thaliana, the highest combined forward and backward rates are found in genes, with the forward rate (3.48×10^−4) being about four times lower than the backward rate (1.47×10^−3). In TEs, by contrast, these rates are much reduced, and the forward rate (3.24×10^−4) exceeds the backward rate (1.20×10^−5) by a factor of 30 [primary source]." |
