Tissue-specific impact of stem-loops and quadruplexes on cancer breakpoints formation

Abstract Background Chromosomal rearrangements are the typical phenomena in cancer genomes causing gene disruptions and fusions, corruption of regulatory elements, damage to chromosome integrity. Among the factors contributing to genomic instability are non-B DNA structures with stem-loops and quadr...
