'CpG islands' are often associated with promoter regions. A CpG island has traditionally been defined as a 200 bp region of DNA with a G+C content over 50% and an observed/expected CpG ratio of 0.6 or more. In the March 19 Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Daiya Takai and Peter Jones of the University of Southern California describe a re-evaluation of CpG islands using the finished sequences of human chromosomes 21 and 22 (Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 2002, 99:3740-3745).They developed

They developed an algorithm to search for and describe CpG islands, and defined a new criterion for describing a CpG islands. This description eliminates
They also found evidence for CpG dinucleotide suppression in other genomes, including those ...
