Correlations between CGI density and genomic features in mammalian genomes using the Gardiner-Garden and Frommer algorithm in the non-repeat portions of genomes. In both Additional data files 6 and 7, the platypus chromosomes were excluded because of incomplete genome sequence data and chromosome data. The conclusion would be the same when the platypus data were included.
