  1. The level of enrichment of the top 1,000 loci in each brain region was determined by Fisher’s exact test. 5hmC, 5-hydroxymethylcytosine; CI, confidence interval; A3SS, alternative 3’ splice site; A5SS, alternative 5’ splice site; AFE, alternative first exon; ALE, alternative last exon; CE, cassette exon; CNE, constitutive exon; EI, exon isoforms; II, intron isoforms; IR, intron retention; MXE, mutually exclusive exon
