Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that typically 60–80% of CpGs in the human genome are methylated?

Yes. Multiple peer-reviewed scientific sources estimate that approximately 70% to 80% (or up to 90%) of CpG sites across the mammalian and human genome are methylated.
