We hypothesized that preterm birth and early feeding affect gut maturation via epigenetic changes. Using piglets as models for infants, preterm and term pigs (n=80) were fed total parenteral nutrition (TPN) or partial enteral feeding (ENT) for 5 days, followed by exclusive enteral feeding until 26 days (weaning age). Small intestinal DNA methylome was compared between preterm and matched term pigs. The differentially methylated regions (DMRs) and the associated genes were listed in this supplementary file.
