Also, in accordance with the observation that cytosine residues of TEs close to highly expressed genes tend to be less methylated and that expressed TEs exhibit a clear trend toward hypomethylation, we found that about 14% of expressed TEs are close to genes (an over six-fold enrichment with respect to the total fraction of gene-proximal TEs).

The sentences
A marked trend toward hypomethylation is observed for TEs located within a 1 kb distance from expressed genes, rather than segregated in TE-rich regions of the genome.
