ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides CpG islands and GC rich regions and methods for identifying methylation states for these CpG islands and GC rich regions. The present invention also provides methods for identifying genes regulated by these CpG islands and GC rich regions, and provides methods for identifying a population of CpG islands and GC rich regions in a genome.
