A Structural Split in the Human Genome

BACKGROUND: Promoter-associated CpG islands (PCIs) mediate methylation-dependent gene silencing, yet tend to co-locate to transcriptionally active genes. To address this paradox, we used data mining to assess the behavior of PCI-positive (PCI+) genes in the human genome. RESULTS: PCI+ genes exhibit...
