Standard name

GOBP_NEGATIVE_REGULATION_OF_GENE_EXPRESSION_VIA_CPG_ISLAND_METHYLATION

Systematic name

M46800

Brief description

An epigenetic gene regulation mechanism that negatively regulates gene expression by methylation of cytosine residues in chromosomal CpG islands. CpG islands are genomic regions that contain a high frequency of the CG dinucleotide and are often associated with the transcription start site of genes.
