Using a combination of in silico and experimental approaches, we present evidence that the G-quadruplex (G4) motif (an alternative higher-order DNA conformation) has regulatory potential. Genome-wide analyses of 99980 human, chimpanzee, mouse, and rat promoters showed enrichment of sequence with potential to adopt G4 (potential G4 or PG4) motifs near transcription start sites (TSS; P < 0.0001), supporting earlier findings. Interestingly, we found >700 orthologously related promoters in human, mo ...[more]
