GC skew at the 5' and 3' ends of human genes links R-loop formation to epigenetic regulation and transcription termination.

Strand asymmetry in the distribution of guanines and cytosines, measured by GC skew, predisposes DNA sequences toward R-loop formation upon transcription. Previous work revealed that GC skew and R-loop formation associate with a core set of unmethylated CpG island (CGI) promoters in the human genome. Here, we show that GC skew can distinguish four classes of promoters, including three types of ...

R-loop formation is a distinctive characteristic of unmethylated human CpG island promoters.

CpG islands (CGIs) function as promoters for approximately 60% of human genes. Most of these elements remain protected from CpG methylation, a prevalent epigenetic modification associated with transcriptional silencing. Here, we report that methylation-resistant CGI promoters are characterized by significant strand asymmetry in the distribution of guanines and cytosines (GC skew) immediately do...

GC skew is a conserved property of unmethylated CpG island promoters across vertebrates

GC skew is a measure of the strand asymmetry in the distribution of guanines and cytosines. GC skew favors R-loops, a type of three stranded nucleic acid structures that form upon annealing of an RNA strand to one strand of DNA, creating a persistent RNA:DNA hybrid. Previous studies show that GC skew is prevalent at thousands of human CpG island (CGI) promoters and transcription termination reg...
