Methylation degrees were estimated for the fragments in these two ranges and the fragments in the full range from 60 to 500 bp. Within a 500-bp range from the elements, the proximal regions of both and are markedly methylated compared with the distal regions. This tendency was also found in the individual rice strains, as illustrated for Japonica (including A58, T65, and Nipponbare), Indica (IR36, Kasalath, and #108), and (W107, W593, and W630) along with the overall degrees
