G4SNVHunter - Evaluating SNV-Induced Disruption of G-Quadruplex Structures
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 potential and
accurately screen user-provided single nucleotide variants
(also applicable to single nucleotide polymorphisms) that may
destabilize these structures. This enables users to screen key
variants for further experimental study, investigating how
these variants may influence biological functions, such as gene
regulation, by altering G4 formation.
