Phylogenetic tree built from mean methylation probabilities of the 11,718 orthologous human-chimp-orang SUMIs. The separate clustering of the human and chimp specimen indicates that certain methylation states are stably inherited within each species. The bootstrap values (1000 permutations) are shown next to each branch. The scale bar indicates the number of substitutions per site.
