#Housekeeping genes, §Tissue specific genes,

* ChrClass and MAR Finder programs were used for prediction of S/MARs in housekeeping and tissue specific genes regulatory regions (5' & 3' regions – 2000 bp each). The common predictions of both the programs were used for the analysis. The data is represented as percentage of genes with predicted S/MARs in 5' and 3' regions of 525 housekeeping and 532 tissue specific genes.
