CpG Islands |
CpG Islands reports potential CpG island regions using the
method described by
Gardiner-Garden and Frommer (1987). The calculation is performed using a 200 bp window moving
across the sequence at 1 bp intervals. CpG islands are
defined as sequence ranges where the Obs/Exp value is
greater than 0.6 and the GC content is greater than 50%. The
expected number of CpG dimers in a window is calculated as
the number of 'C's in the window multiplied by the number of
'G's in the window, divided by the window length. CpG
islands are often found in the 5' regions of vertebrate
genes, therefore this program can be used to highlight
potential genes in genomic sequences.
