title: 'G4SNVHunter: Evaluating SNV-Induced Disruption of G-Quadruplex Structures'
version: 1.4.0
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.G4SNVHunter
abstract: G-quadruplexes (G4s) are unique nucleic acid secondary structures predominantly
  found in guanine-rich regions and have been shown to be involved in various biological
  regulatory processes. G4SNVHunter is an R package designed to rapidly identify genomic
  sequences with G4-forming propensity and to accurately screen user-provided single
  nucleotide variants—as well as other small-scale variants such as indels and MNVs—for
  their potential to destabilize these structures. This allows researchers to then
  screen these critical variants for deeper study, digging into how they might influence
  biological functions—think gene regulation, for instance—by impairing G4 formation
  propensity.
