Computational Identification and Illustrative Standard for Representation of Unimolecular G-Quadruplex Secondary Structures (CIIS-GQ).

G-quadruplexes refer to a large group of nucleic acid-based structures. In recent years, they have been attracting attention due to their biological roles in the telomeres and promoter regions. These structures show wide diversity in topology, however, development of methods for structural classification of G-quadruplexes has been evaded for a long time.
