CpG islands’ clustering uncovers early development genes in the human genome
Computer Science and Information Systems, Tome 15 (2018) no. 2
We address the problem of the annotation of CpG islands (CGIs) clusters in the human genome. Upon analyzing gene content within CGIs clusters, piRNA, tRNA, and miRNA-encoding genes were found as well as CpG-rich homeobox genes reported previously. Chromosome-wide CGI density is positively correlated with replication timing, confirming that CGIs may serve as open chromatin markers. Early embryonic stage expressed KRAB-ZNF genes abundant at chromosome 19 were found to be interlinked with CGI clusters. We detected that a number of long CGIs and CGI clusters are, in fact, tandem copies with multiple annotated macrosatellites and paralogous genes. This finding implies that tandem expansion of CGIs may serve as a substrate for non-homologous recombination events.
