Motivation

Expanding research highlights the importance of guanine quadruplex structures. Therefore, easy-accessible tools for quadruplex analyses in DNA and RNA molecules are important for the scientific community.

Results

We developed a web version of the G4Hunter application. This new web-based server is a platform-independent and user-friendly application for quadruplex analyses. It allows retrieval of gene/nucleotide sequence entries from NCBI databases and provides complete characterization of localization and quadruplex propensity of quadruplex-forming sequences. The G4Hunter web application includes an interactive graphical data representation with many useful options including visualization, sorting, data storage and export.

Availability and implementation

G4Hunter web application can be accessed at: http://bioinformatics.ibp.cz.
