Fig. 8From: Right and left-sided colon cancers - specificity of molecular mechanisms in tumorigenesis and progressionRight and left-sided colon cancers exhibit differential methylation patterns. a. Mean methylation (y-axis) of tumor and normal samples from the right colon and left colon respectively. b. Counts of differentially (hypo and hyper) methylated probes (DMPs) identified in left /LSCC and right colon/RSCC. c. Genomic distribution of the DMPs identified in both LSCC and RSCC, islands represent the annotated CpG islands, shores are 2Kb upstream/downstream from the end of islands. Shelves are 2Kb upstream/downstream of the farthest upstream/downstream limits of the shores with the remaining genomic regions making up the open seasBack to article page
