DNA Secondary Structures in the Promoters of Human VEGF and RET Genes and Their Roles in Gene Transcriptional Regulation

Unusual DNA secondary structures, especially G-quadruplexes and i-motifs, play important roles in gene transcriptional regulation and have been identified as novel drug targets. In this dissertation, I explored their formation in the human VEGF and RET promoters and their roles in gene transcription...
