(HQ) structure by the non-template DNA strand and nascent RNA transcript, which in turn
modulates transcription under both in vitro and in vivo conditions. Here we present
bioinformatic analysis on putative HQ-forming sequences (PHQS) in the genomes of
eukaryotic organisms. Starting from amphibian, PHQS motifs are concentrated in the
immediate 1000-nt region downstream of transcription start sites, implying their potential role …
