G-quadruplex (G4) structures formed by guanine-rich nucleic acids are implicated in essential physiological processes and serve as important drug targets. The genome-wide detection of G4s in living cells is important for exploring the biological role of G4s but has not yet been achieved due to the lack of a suitable G4 probe. We engineered a 6.7 kDa G4 probe (G4P) protein that binds G4s with high affinity and specificity. We used it...
