Exact synonym | DNA hypomethylation of CpG island, hypomethylation of CpG island, positive regulation of gene expression via chromosomal CpG dinucleotide demethylation |
Description | An epigenetic gene regulation mechanism that positively regulates gene expression by demethylation 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. |
