CpG Island: A Comprehensive Guide to the Genomic Signature Shaping Gene Regulation
In the intricate orchestra of the human genome, CpG islands stand out as distinctive regions that influence how genes are turned on and off. These stretches of DNA, rich in cytosine and guanine nucleotides linked by a phosphate backbone (the CpG dinucleotide), play pivotal roles in development, tissue specificity, and disease. This guide offers a…
