Transcriptome-wide identification of transient RNA G-quadruplexes in human cells

Abstract

In vivo existence of guanine-rich four-stranded RNA structures (G4-RNAs) has been a matter of debate. Here the authors developed a protocol, G4RP-seq, to capture and identify transcriptome-wide G4-RNA, providing insights into the formation of transient G4-RNA in live human cells.
