To get the potential G-quadruplexes in the SARS-CoV-2 genome, we took the strategy described as follows ( Fig. 2A) : (i) Predicting the PG4s with three software independently. To further characterize the potential canonical secondary structures competitive with Gquadruplexes, the landscape of thermodynamic stability of the SARS-CoV-2 genome was depicted by using ΔG°z-score [55] . The distributions of loop length between the SARS-CoV-2 PG4s and the human two-quartet Gquadruplexes did not show discrepancies (Fig. S1 , Wilcoxon test, p-value = 0.4552). Recent research revealed that the G-quadruplexes in human UTRs (Untranslated Regions) are under selective pressures [58] , and some coronaviruses on bats and pangolins are closely related to SARS-CoV-2. Thus, we started to explore whether the SARS-CoV-2 genome contains the protein-coding sequence similar to SUD and whether SARS-CoV-2 retains the ability to bind RNA G-quadruplexes. ./cache/cord-321155-dty18esg.txt ./txt/cord-321155-dty18esg.txt
