Abstract
We report here the results of a systematic search for the existence and prevalence of potential intramolecular G-quadruplex forming sequences in the human genome. We have also examined the tendency for particular sequences of ‘loop’ regions to occur in particular positions with respect to the G-tracts in a quadruplex. Using arithmetic ratio and probability techniques we have discovered frequent and systematic occurrence of certain sequence types, the most prominent being a potential quadruplex containing CCTGT in the first ‘loop’ position. Being able to highlight types of potential quadruplex sequences in G-rich regions is an important step in searching for biologically relevant sequences and finding their function.
