Abstract excerpt
Specific guanine-rich sequence motifs in the human genome have considerable potential to form four-stranded structures known as G-quadruplexes or G4 DNA. The enrichment of these motifs in key chromosomal regions has suggested a functional role for the G-quadruplex structure in genomic regulation....
