Cross-validation distribution of ΔR2Methylation, the variance explained by genome-wide DNA methylation minus variance explained by covariates (sex, maternal age, maternal smoking, maternal education, cell type proportions, batch, gestational age*, birth weight* (* not when outcome is gestational age or birth weight)) in ALSPAC (red) and Generation R (blue).
