Nucleic (DNA) acids having contiguous stretch of G sequence form quadruplex structure, which is very critical to control cell division. Recently the existence of G-quadruplex in RNA is also reported in presence of monovalent ...

Double-stranded segments of a genome that can potentially form G-quadruplex (GQ) and/or i-motif (iM) structures are considered to be important regulatory elements. Hence, the development of a common probe that can detect ...

G-rich and C-rich DNA sequences capable of forming G-quadruplex (GQ) and i-motif structures are often found in the telomeric region and in the promoter region of several oncogenes. Despite extensive studies in vitro, ...

DNA sequences that are composed of multiple G- and C-tracts can potentially form non-canonical structures called G-quadruplex (GQ) or i-motif (iM), respectively. Such sequences are found at the ends of chromosomes (telomeric ...
