CpG Finder help

The program is intended to search for CpG islands in sequences.

Program options:
Min length of island to find - searching CpG islands with a length (bp) not less than specified in the field.
Min percent G and C - searching CpG islands with a composition not less than specified in the field.
Min CpG number - the minimal number of CpG dinucleotides in the island.
Min gc_ratio=P(CpG)/(expected)P(CpG) - the minimal ratio of the observed to expected frequency of CpG dinucleotide in the island.
Extend island if its lengths less then required - extending the CpG island, if its length is shorter than required.

Output example:

Search parameters:  len: 200   %GC: 50.0   CpG number: 0   P(CpG)/exp: 0.600   extend island: no   A: 21   B: -2
Locus name:  9003..16734 note="CpG_island (%GC=65.4, o/e=0.70, #CpGs=577)"
Locus reference:   expected P(CpG): 0.086   length: 25020
