CpGProD is a web-based program that predicts promoters containing a high density of CpG islands _______(a) in archea genomic sequences(b) in mammalian genomic sequences(c) in eukaryotic and bacterial genomic sequences(d) only in bacterial genomic sequencesI had been asked this question by my school principal while I was bunking the class.My question is based upon Prediction Algorithms in chapter Promoter and Regulatory Element Prediction of Bioinformatics

Answer» CORRECT answer is (B) in mammalian genomic sequences

To explain: It calculates moving averages of GC% and CpG ratios (observed/expected) over a window of a certain size (usually 200 bp). When the VALUES are above a certain threshold, the REGION is identified as a CpG island.
