In genetics, an isochore is a large, homogenous region of DNA that has a relatively uniform GC (guanine-cytosine) content. Isochores are characterized by their consistent nucleotide composition over a significant physical length, typically in the megabase range. This contrasts with more typical genomic regions, which can have varying GC content over shorter distances.
