Contrast features of CpG islands in the promoter and other regions in the dog genome

The recent release of the domestic dog genome provides us with an ideal opportunity to investigate dog-specific genomic features. In this study, we performed a systematic analysis of CpG islands (CGIs), which are often considered gene markers, in the dog

We thank Dr. Jingchun Sun for her assistance in gene feature analysis. This project was supported by a NIH grant (LM009598) from the National Library of Medicine, an institutional research grant (IRG-73-001-31) from the American Cancer Society and the Tho
