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...

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...
