title: On the prevalence of transcriptional regions in human genomic DNA.
abstract: The dinucleotide sequences TpA and CpG are differentially expressed in transcribed vs. non-transcribed portions of the human genome (Beutler et al., 1989, Proc. natn. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 86, 192-196). This fact is exploited here to estimate the total number of transcriptional regions in human genomic DNA.
