Sites of instability in the human TCF3 (E2A) gene adopt G-quadruplex DNA structures in vitro
The formation of highly stable four-stranded DNA, called G-quadruplex (G4), promotes site-specific genome instability. G4 DNA structures fold from repetitive guanine sequences, and increasing experimental evidence connects G4 sequence motifs with specific gene rearrangements. The human TCF3 gene (al...
