In humans about 70% of promoters located near the transcription start site of a gene (proximal promoters) contain a CpG island. CpG islands are generally 200 to 2000 base pairs long have a C:G base pair content >50% and have regions of DNA where a cytosine nucleotide is followed by a guanine nucleotide and this occurs frequently in the linear sequence of bases along its 5' → 3' direction. Distal promoters also frequently contain CpG islands such as the promoter of the DNA repair gene ER…
