Alternative splicing modulation by G-quadruplexes
2019-07-12
Abstract excerpt
Alternative splicing is central to metazoan gene regulation but the regulatory mechanisms involved are only partially understood. Here, we show that G-quadruplex (G4) motifs are enriched ~3-fold both upstream and downstream of splice junctions. Analysis of in vitro G4-seq data corroborates their formation potential. G4s display the highest enrichment at weaker splice sites, which are frequently involved in altern...
