Cpg Island Evolution

CpG Island Evolution is a theoretical framework in molecular evolutionary biology that characterizes the dynamic preservation and divergence of CpG-rich genomic regions across species, distinguishing itself by integrating epigenetic regulation, mutation bias, and selective pressures to explain the origin, maintenance, and functional evolution of CpG islands in noncoding DNA.
