Alignment with SERPINB5 promoter. Sequence alignment between the promoter of SERPINB5 (SPR, associated with a GC-rich region) and the CGI predicted by CpGcluster. None of the remaining CGI finders were able to detect any CGI in this region. The transcription start site (TSS), as given by the DBTSS data base [34], is shown in bold type.
