CG suppression is a term for the phenomenon that CG dinucleotides are very uncommon in most portions of vertebrate genomes. In adult somatic tissues, cytosine residues may be methylated, and this occurs almost exclusively within a symmetric CpG context. Methylated C residues spontaneously deaminate to form T residues; hence CpG dinucleotides steadily mutate to TpG dinucleotides, which gives rise to the under-representation of CpG dinucleotides in the human genome (they occur at only 21% of the expected frequency). (On the other hand, spontaneous deamination of unmethylated C residues gives rise to U residues, a mutation that is quickly recognized and repaired by the cell).

- CG抑制(CG suppression)是指多數脊椎動物基因組中CpG位點的比例低於期望值的現象。人類基因組序列中胞嘧啶(C)與鳥嘌呤(G)各占了約21%,因此CpG位點的比例期望值應為約4%(0.21x0.21),但實際上僅有低於1%。此現象是胞嘧啶去胺的轉換突變所致,被甲基化的胞嘧啶(5-甲基胞嘧啶)會自發去胺轉為轉為胸腺嘧啶(T),若未及時在DNA複製前修復,該位點即發生C-T的轉換突變,此為人類細胞中最常發生的突變種類。 (zh)

| - CG suppression is a term for the phenomenon that CG dinucleotides are very uncommon in most portions of vertebrate genomes. In adult somatic tissues, cytosine residues may be methylated, and this occurs almost exclusively within a symmetric CpG context. Methylated C residues spontaneously deaminate to form T residues; hence CpG dinucleotides steadily mutate to TpG dinucleotides, which gives rise to the under-representation of CpG dinucleotides in the human genome (they occur at only 21% of the expected frequency). (On the other hand, spontaneous deamination of unmethylated C residues gives rise to U residues, a mutation that is quickly recognized and repaired by the cell). In human and mouse, CGs are the least frequent dinucleotide, making up less than 1% of all dinucleotides. GCs are the second most infrequent, making up more than 4% of all dinucleotides, so CGs are more than fourfold less frequent than all other dinucleotides. (en)
