Alternative DNA secondary structure formation affects RNA polymerase II promoter-proximal pausing in human

Abstract Background Alternative DNA secondary structures can arise from single-stranded DNA when duplex DNA is unwound during DNA processes such as transcription, resulting in the regulation or perturbation of these processes. We identify sites of high propensity to form stable DNA secondary structu...
