CpG islands (short for Cytosine-Phosphate-Guanine islands) are palindromic DNA sequences containing a high frequency of CpG dinucleotides. They are usually found in or near the promoter regions of many vertebrate genes, and methylation of these CpG islands is often associated with gene silencing or repression.
