CpG islands are genomic regions that contain a high frequency of CG dinucleotides. In mammalian genomes, CpG islands are typically 300-3,000 base pairs in length. They are in and near approximately 40% of promoters of mammalian genes . The "p" in CpG notation refers to the phosphodiester bond between the cytidine and the guanosine.
