Specific gene hypomethylation and cancer: new insights into coding region feature trends.
Journal Title: Bioinformation - Year 2009, Vol 3, Issue 8
Abstract
Giving coding region structural features a role in the hypomethylation of specific genes, the occurrence of G+C content, CpG islands, repeat and retrotransposable elements in demethylated genes related to cancer has been evaluated. A comparative analysis among different cancer types has also been performed. In this work, the inter-cancer coding region features comparative analysis carried out, show insights into what structural trends/patterns are present in the studied cancers.
