Evolutionary features of the 4-Mb Xq21.3 XY homology region revealed by a map at 60-kb resolution.

abstract：:Most mammalian RNA polymerase II initiation events occur at CpG islands, which are rich in CpGs and devoid of DNA methylation. Despite their relevance for gene regulation, it is unknown to what extent the CpG dinucleotide itself actually contributes to promoter activity. To address this question, we determined the tra...

This problem is more prominent in deep resequencing studies because of their large sample size n, and a higher probability of error at each nucleotide site.
