Increased G + C content of DNA stabilizes methyl CpG dinucleotides.

Abstract:

:The vertebrate genome is a mosaic of regions differing dramatically in their G + C content. Those regions with a high G + C content contain the expected number of CpG dinucleotides and we propose that following methylation these have been protected from deamination by the increased stability of the surrounding DNA duplex. This argument applies both to the microenvironment of the CpG dinucleotide and to whole gene regions.
