CpG Island Mapping by Epigenome Prediction

Figure 6

Parallelism between Specific DNA Characteristics and the Epigenetic and Functional State of CpG Islands

This figure illustrates the link between the genome sequence and the epigenome at CpG islands, which enabled us to predict epigenetic states from characteristics of the genome sequence. CpG islands in the human genome can apparently be ordered on a scale of increasingly open and transcriptionally competent chromatin structure (left) and simultaneously on a scale of characteristic DNA attributes (right), with high correlation between both scales.
