Preferred Label : G-Quadruplexes;
MeSH definition : Higher-order DNA and RNA structures formed from guanine-rich sequences. They are formed
around a core of at least 2 stacked tetrads of hydrogen-bonded GUANINE bases. They
can be formed from one two or four separate strands of DNA (or RNA) and can display
a wide variety of topologies, which are a consequence of various combinations of strand
direction, length, and sequence. (From Nucleic Acids Res. 2006;34(19):5402-15);
