Hello Elham, To get to the description page for the CpG Islands track, go to the browser then click on the gray bar to the left of the track in the main display, or click on the track title above the pulldown menu for this track (found in the "Regulation" group on human, hg19).
For your second question we cannot advise on the appropriate window size for your gene search as we do not provide help regarding scientific direction. If you have a region of interest you can see the nearest genes by navigating to your region (input your region coordinates into the position/search box and hit "jump"), and then turning on one of the "genes and gene prediction" tracks. If you then click on the "configure" button below the main browser display and check the "Next/previous item navigation" you will see arrows to the right/left of the items in the gene prediction track in the main browser display. Clicking on these will take you to the next/prev predicted gene. Hopefully this information was helpful and answers your question. If you have further questions or require clarification feel free to contact the mailing list at [email protected].
