Preservation of methylated CpG dinucleotides in human CpG islands

BACKGROUND: CpG dinucleotides are extensively underrepresented in mammalian genomes. It is widely accepted that genome-wide CpG depletion is predominantly caused by an elevated CpG > TpG mutation rate due to frequent cytosine methylation in the CpG context. Meanwhile the CpG content in genomic re...
