CpG sites which are differentially methylated between obese and non-obese groups. Methylation of the 277 differentially methylated CpGs (p < 0.05, FDR < 0.2) across all 31 individuals are shown in the Heatmap. Each column represents a child and each row a single CpG site. Methylation changes are expressed via a color gradient intensity scale at the lower right-hand corner of the Heatmap: the darkest red indicates the highest DNA methylation level and the darkest green indicates the lowest DNA methylation level. A color gradient intensity scale at the higher right-hand corner expresses children’s BMI level: the darkest red indicates the highest BMI level and the darkest blue indicates the lowest BMI level. The color bar above the Heatmap indicates children categorized by their BMIs: blue indicates a non-obese individual, red indicates an obese individual
