… adjusting methylation levels, and it is largely unknown what prevents the accumulation of
DNA methylation at CpG islands. Importantly, despite an intense search, no direct DNA …

… Consistent failure to methylate any region of DNA in the germline would automatically lead
to CpG island-like properties at that sequence, since CpGs would not be methylated and …

… that these regions are termed CpG islands because they are … for enzymes involved in DNA
