Significantly enriched Gene ontology terms amongst CpG sites identified to be hypermethylated in sperm compared to somatic tissues.

GO analysis identified 272 pathways enriched amongst hypermethylated sites. Of note, 37 of these (14%) related to transcriptional regulation, while 67 (25%) were related to brain and neurological categories. GO ID = Gene Ontology identifier, N = number of genes in the GO term, DE = number of genes that were differentially methylated, P.DE = P value for over-representation of the GO term, ONTOLOGY: BP = biological process, CC = cellular component, MF = molecular function.
