Additional data file 1:
Most borders are shifted between 10 and 100 kb among all methods. No borders are shifted more than 1 Mb in comparison to the BASIO borders. One exception is the least-squares segmentation, which has identical borders with the BASIO map in about 25% of all cases.

For all isochore assignments, more genes reside completely within a single stretch than one would expect by chance. All results are statistically significant (Chi-Square test, all p-values < 0.001).
