From human genomes
This image is based on an x-ray crystal structure of a G-quadruplex formed from the DNA sequence found in human genomes.

From start to finish
This graph shows the formation of DNA G-quadruplex structures. DNA can adopt structures that are alternative to the double-helix and can be visualised in human cancer cells by microscopy, thanks to an antibody that target them.
Cancer cells
This image shows, on the left, DNA G-quadruplex structures (red foci) are present in human cancer cell nuclei (blue). On the right, more structures are visualized after treatment with a G-quadruplex-stabilising small molecule compared to the untreated control on left.
Chromosomes
In this image, DNA G-quadruplex structures (red foci) can be visualised in human chromosomes (blue) and are present both at telomeres (arrow), areas at the end of chromosomes, but also throughout the chromosomes.
Telomeres
In this image DNA G-quadruplex structures (red foci) can be visualised in human chromosomes (blue) and are present both at telomeres (arrow) and throughout the chromosomes. Scale bar corresponds to 2.5 um.
