Abstract excerpt
Watson-Crick base pairs (bps) are the fundamental unit of genetic information and the building blocks of the DNA double helix. However, A-T and G-C can also form alternative 'Hoogsteen' bps, expanding the functional complexity of DNA. We developed 'Hoog-finder', which uses structural fingerprints to rapidly screen Hoogsteen bps, which may have been mismodeled as Watson-Crick in crystal structures of protein-DNA...
