[edit] Is the "p" really necessary?
What other kind of bond (other than a phosphodiester bond) would exist between two nucleotides on the same strand within a natually occuring genome? Why not just CG island? The "p" seems redundant and even suggestive of an additional phosphorylation modification.
- Yea it confused me too till I read CpG site which says it differentiates between G:C basepairing. It's just a name though. Aaadddaaammm 01:02, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
