Abstract
Z-DNA is the left-handed helical structure of the usually right-handed B-DNA double
helix structure. Z-DNA conformations have been found to cause mutagenesis and genetic instability [1].
In this study, human genome sequences potentially forming Z-DNA regions (ZDRs) were extracted and
analysed for functional implications.
