makeCGI 1.3.4 – Finding CpG Islands from DNA Sequences

makeCGI 1.3.4

:: DESCRIPTION

makeCGI is an R software package to obtain CGI from a genome. It fits two HMMs on GC content and observed to expected CpG ratio iteratively and obtain posterior probabilities for genomic regions being CpG islands. The CpG islands are then defined by thresholding the posterior probabilities.
