G-quadruplexes as functional elements of the human genome
Avani Dave, Jai Hind College Natural selection has evidently preserved several specific sites in the human genome that allow an atypical 3-D conformation of the DNA which are referred to as G-quadruplexes (G4s). A new study demonstrates an increased occurrence and high stability of these not-so-usual G-quadruplexes if they are situated either in the sequences […]
