Role of Hfq in Genome Evolution: Instability of G-Quadruplex Sequences in <i>E. coli</i>

Role of Hfq in Genome Evolution: Instability of G-Quadruplex Sequences in <i>E. coli</i>

Certain G-rich DNA repeats can form quadruplex in bacterial chromatin that can present blocks to DNA replication and, if not properly resolved, may lead to mutations. To understand the participation of quadruplex DNA in genomic instability in <i>Escherichia coli</i> (<i>E. coli<...
