In particular, they (a) initiate transcription—bidirectional in some cases, due to the self-complementarity of the CG dinucleotides—as promoters in most (>50%) genes of vertebrates; (b) form a global methylation landscape; and (c) act to “switch-off” transcription via methylation. The degenerate nature of CpG islands (elevated CG content) implies an increase in the probability of tandem repeats and palindromes within a CpG island. In this work, tandem duplications of complete CpG islands (megamonomers with a length of 400–5000 bp) are identified in the human genome. We have found both intergenic and intragenic tandem duplications of CpG islands. The discovered CGI duplications are mediated through CG-rich subcentromeric and telomeric satellites and SINEs. The similarity of the monomers in tandem repeats in some cases suggests the existence of selection pressure on the structure of such loci.
