  1. Gene-associated cytosine significance values were calculated using a Fisher’s test. For each cytosine, there is also corresponding genomic location, the average methylation percentages for the control subjects and ME/CFS patients, with differences (− hypo-methylated, + is hyper-methylated). Corresponding P and Q values are indicated. The full dataset is available in Additional file 1: Excel file ‘MethylKit_Gene_Full’
