Mining and Predicting CpG islands
— A DNA sequence can be described as a string composed of four symbols: A, T, C and G. Each symbol represents a chemically distinct nucleotide molecule. Combinations of two nucle...

Predicting methylation status of CpG islands in the human brain
Motivation: Over 50% of human genes contain CpG islands in their 5'-regions. Methylation patterns of CpG islands are involved in tissue-specific gene expression and regulatio...

Prediction of epigenetically regulated genes in breast cancer cell lines
Background: Methylation of CpG islands within the DNA promoter regions is one mechanism that leads to aberrant gene expression in cancer. In particular, the abnormal methylation o...

CpGcluster: a distance-based algorithm for CpG-island detection
Background: Despite their involvement in the regulation of gene expression and their importance as genomic markers for promoter prediction, no objective standard exists for defini...

PReMod: a database of genome-wide mammalian cis-regulatory module predictions
We describe PReMod, a new database of genomewide cis-regulatory module (CRM) predictions for both the human and the mouse genomes. The prediction algorithm, described previously i...
