Particle swarm optimization with reinforcement learning for the prediction of CpG islands in the human genome.

BACKGROUND: Regions with abundant GC nucleotides, a high CpG number, and a length greater than 200 bp in a genome are often referred to as CpG islands. These islands are usually located in the 5' end of genes. Recently, several algorithms for the prediction of CpG islands have been proposed. ME...
