Abstract Background The studies on CpG islands (CGI) and Alu elements functions,
evolution, and distribution in the genome started since the discovery in nineteen eighties …

The discovery of CpG islands (CGIs) and the study of their structure and properties run
parallel to the development of molecular biology in the last two decades of the twentieth …

The mammalian genome is punctuated by CpG islands (CGIs), which differ sharply from the
bulk genome by being rich in G+ C and the dinucleotide CpG. CGIs often include …

ABSTRACT CpG islands (CGIs) are CpG-rich regions compared to CpG-depleted bulk DNA
of mammalian genomes and are generally regarded as the epigenetic regulatory regions in …

An effective tool for the global analysis of both DNA methylation status and protein–
chromatin interactions is a microarray constructed with sequences containing regulatory …

Background CpG islands, which are clusters of CpG dinucleotides in GC-rich regions, are
considered gene markers and represent an important feature of mammalian genomes …

By reviewing previous CpG-related studies, we consider that the transcription regulation of
about half of the human genes, mostly housekeeping (HK) genes, involves CpG islands …

CpG islands (CGIs) are often considered as gene markers, but the number of CGIs varies
among mammalian genomes that have similar numbers of genes. In this study, we …

CpG islands (CGIs) are generally regarded as important epigenetic regulatory elements due
to their association with promoter regions. However, identification of functional CGIs is …

In this article, I show that, in the human genome, the GC content in genes (but not the CpG
island in the promoter) is related to the maximum level of gene expression among tissues …
