G-quadruplex Structures Contribute to Differential Radiosensitivity of the Human Genome

DNA, the fundamental unit of human cell, generally exists in Watson-Crick base-paired B-DNA form. Often, DNA folds into non-B forms, such as four-stranded G-quadruplexes. It is generally believed that ionizing radiation (IR) induces DNA strand-breaks in a random manner. Here, we show that regions of...
