GC skew at the 5′ and 3′ ends of human genes links R-loop formation to epigenetic regulation and transcription termination

Strand asymmetry in the distribution of guanines and cytosines, measured by GC skew, predisposes DNA sequences toward R-loop formation upon transcription. Previous work revealed that GC skew and R-loop formation associate with a core set of unmethylated CpG island (CGI) promoters in the human genome...
