Using bioinformatic analysis of published data, we identify in human mRNA that potential G-quadruplex forming sequences (PQSs) colocalize with the epitranscriptomic modifications N6-methyladenosine (m6A), pseudouridine (Ψ), and inosine (I). A deeper analysis of the colocalized m6A and PQSs found them intronic in pre-mRNA near 5′ and 3′ splice sites. The loop lengths and sequence context of the m6A-bearing PQSs found short loops most commonly comprised of A...
