Isochore (genetics)A large region of DNA (greater than 3 KB) with a high degree uniformity in G-C and C-G (collectively GC) which tends to have more genes, higher local melting or denaturation temperatures, and different flexibility. Overall, Isochores are largely homogeneous in GC content in contrast to the heterogeneity of the entire genome.
