Figure Lengend Snippet: a , Trends of methylation drift based on youthful methylation levels. b , Trends of methylation drift based on local CpG density. c , d , Age coefficient of methylation at LINEs ( c ) and LTR retrotransposons ( d ) after adjustment for CpG density and youthful methylation level. Only families represented by 40 or more CpGs in the Infinium array are shown. e , TF binding motifs enriched at young L1s and associated with increased or decreased methylation drift rate in young L1s (two-sided Wilcoxon rank-sum test, P < 0.05 for both adjusted and unadjusted age drift rate coefficient). P values are only shown for comparisons in young L1s; the exact P values are, in order, 0.021, 0.039, 0.028, 0.016. n of CpGs in old L1s: 341; n CpGs in young L1s: 621, of which 416 are flanked by an ARNTL motif, 589 by an NFKB2 motif, 375 by a FOXO1 motif and 390 by a HIC2 motif. Additional motifs are shown in Extended Data Fig. . c – e , Boxes show the median and the 25th and 75th percentiles. The whiskers extend to the 25th and 75th percentiles ± 1.5 times the IQR. Points outside the whiskers are not shown. * P < 0.05.
