Putative DNA G-quadruplex formation within the promoters of Plasmodium falciparum var genes

BACKGROUND: Guanine-rich nucleic acid sequences are capable of folding into an intramolecular four-stranded structure called a G-quadruplex. When found in gene promoter regions, G-quadruplexes can downregulate gene expression, possibly by blocking the transcriptional machinery. Here we have used a g...
