- Sket & Plavec: Diversity of DNA and RNA G-quadruplex structures

- Rajendra, Li, Endo & Sugiyama: Direct Observation of G-Quadruplexes using DNA Origami Nanoscaffold

- Srivastava & Raghavan: The G-factor: Role of G-quadruplexes in Genomic Instability and Cancer

- Oyoshi: Assessing the biological relevance of G-quadruplexes in telomeres by specific quadruplex-binding proteins

- Kerwin & David: G-Quadruplex Dynamics: Assays for Intramolecular G-Quadruplex Helicases and Inhibitors

- Moye & Bryan: Proteins that interact with DNA and RNA G-quadruplexes

- Bugaut: Biological relevance and small molecule targeting of RNA G-quadruplexes in the human genome

- Hukezalie, Okaz & Wong: Biological mechanisms of action of G-quadruplex targeting agents

- Zhao & Qu: Chiral compounds targeting G-quadruplexes

- Suntharalingam: Novel Metal-Containing Molecules that Target DNA G-quadruplexes
