Multiple G-quadruplex binding ligand induced transcriptomic map of cancer cell lines.

ABSTRACT: The G-quadruplexes (G4s) are a class of DNA secondary structures with guanine rich DNA sequences that can fold into four stranded non-canonical structures. At the genomic level, their pivotal role is well established in DNA replication, telomerase functions, constitution of topologically associating domains, and the regulation of gene expression. Genome instability mediated by altered G4 formation and assembly has been associated with multiple disorders including cancers and neurodegenerative disorders. Multiple tools have also been developed to predict the potential G4 regions in genomes and the whole genome G4 maps are also being derived through sequencing approaches. Enrichment of G4s in the cis-regulatory elements of genes associated with tumorigenesis has accelerated the quest for ide
