Abstract excerpt
Noncanonical DNA structures are postulated to be responsible for some breakpoint hotspots that occur frequently in cancers. We developed a novel mouse model system using the naturally occurring H-DNA structure that deviate from the familiar right-handed helical B form found at the breakage hotspot in the human c-MYC promoter and a Z-DNA-forming CG repeat to test this idea directly. Large-scale chromosomal...
