Higher-order G-quadruplexes in promoters are untapped drug targets
G-quadruplexes (G4s) are four-stranded nucleic acid secondary structures that form within guanine-rich regions of chromatin. G4 motifs are abundant in the genome, with a sizable proportion (∼40%) existing within gene promoter regions. G4s are proven epigenetic features that decorate the promoter lan...
