Description

G-quadruplexes (G4s) are unique nucleic acid secondary structures predominantly found in guanine-rich regions and have been shown to be involved in various biological regulatory processes. G4SNVHunter is an R package designed to rapidly identify genomic sequences with G4-forming propensity and to accurately screen user-provided single nucleotide variants—as well as other small-scale variants such as indels and MNVs—for their potential to destabilize these structures. This allows researchers to then screen these critical variants for deeper study, digging into how they might influence biological functions—think gene regulation, for instance—by impairing G4 formation propensity.
