gquad

Genomic biology is not limited to the confines of the canonical B-forming DNA duplex, but includes over ten different types of other secondary structures that are collectively termed non-B DNA structures. Of these non-B DNA structures, the G-quadruplexes are highly stable four-stranded structures that are recognized by distinct subsets of nuclear factors. This package provide functions for predicting intramolecular G quadruplexes. In addition, functions for predicting other intramolecular nonB DNA structures are included.
