G-quadruplexes are four-stranded helical structures formed by guanine-rich sequences in DNA and RNA. They have emerged as important regulatory elements in biological processes, including DNA replication, gene expression, and telomere maintenance. Recent studies have shown that G-quadruplexes are present in various genomic regions, such as telomeres, gene promoters, and introns, and their formation is regulated by specific proteins and enzymes. These structures can influence cellular processes by affecting DNA replication, transcription, and translation. For example, G-quadruplexes in gene promoters can repress translation, while those in telomeres may play a role in telomere protection and maintenance. The presence of G-quadruplexes in the genome is non-random and is often associated with functionally important regions. However, the exact mechanisms by which G-quadruplexes regulate biological processes remain to be fully understood. Research has shown that proteins such as helicases and chaperones are involved in the formation and resolution of G-quadruplexes, and their dysfunction can lead to genome instability and disease. The study of G-quadruplexes is an exciting area of modern biology, with implications for understanding the regulation of DNA replication, transcription, and telomere structure. Further research is needed to elucidate the precise roles of G-quadruplexes in cellular processes and to develop targeted therapies for diseases associated with G-quadruplex dysfunction.G-quadruplexes are four-stranded helical structures formed by guanine-rich sequences in DNA and RNA.
