CpG Methylation Altered the Stability and Structure of the i-Motifs Located in the CpG Islands

Cytosine methylation within the 5′-C-phosphate-G-3′ sequence of nucleotides (called CpG methylation) is a well-known epigenetic modification of genomic DNA that plays an important role in gene expression and development. CpG methylation is likely to be altered in the CpG islands. CpG islands are ric...
