Abstract excerpt
G-quadruplexes (G4s) formed by guanine-rich nucleic acids play a role in essential biological processes such as transcription and replication. Besides the >1.5 million putative G-4-forming sequences (PQSs), the human genome features >640 million single-nucleotide variations (SNVs), the most common type of genetic variation among people or populations. An SNV may alter a G4 structure when it falls within a PQS...
