Dynamic GbM genes exhibit methylation heterogeneity in all cell and tissue types. A Representative genome browser snapshot showing heterogeneously methylated CGs at a Dynamic GbM locus in a variety of cell and tissue types (scale = 0–100%). B, C Violin plots showing the distribution of methylation heterogeneity levels of CGs within Stable and Dynamic GbM genes (methylated domains only) from various somatic cell and tissue types (B) and meristem and germ cells (C). Solid lines represent the median and dashed lines represent the interquartile range. All Dynamic GbM violins are significantly different to Stable GbM violins (p =  < 0.0001), with the exception of ros1; dme (+ / −) sperm cells. D Proportion of fully methylated, heterogeneously methylated and unmethylated CGs across all tissue and cell types for both Stable and Dynamic GbM gene bodies
