Telomeric retrotransposons show propensity to form G-quadruplexes in various eukaryotic species

Abstract Background Canonical telomeres (telomerase-synthetised) are readily forming G-quadruplexes (G4) on the G-rich strand. However, there are examples of non-canonical telomeres among eukaryotes where telomeric tandem repeats are invaded by specific retrotransposons. Drosophila melanogaster repr...
