An i-motif is a non-canonical DNA structure implicated in gene regulation and linked to cancers. The C-rich strand of the HRAS oncogene, 5'-CGCCCGTGCCCTGCGCCCGCAACCCGA-3' (herein referred to as iHRAS), forms an i-motif in vitro but its exact structure was unknown. HRAS is a member of the RAS proto-oncogene family.

G-quadruplexes (GQs) are non-canonical DNA structures composed of stacks of stabilized G-tetrads. GQs play an important role in a variety of biological processes and may form at telomeres and oncogene promoters among other genomic locations. Here, we investigate nine variants of telomeric DNA from Tetrahymena thermophila with the repeat (TTGGGG)n.
