Of the 13,838 microsatellites that overlap with a G4 element, the most common motifs are shown. For each microsatellite motif, the average base-pair overlap with G4 is shown (Avg. overlap (bp)). The average fraction of each microsatellite that overlaps with the G4 element is also shown (Avg. Overlap fraction). Note that motifs that are dissimilar to the canonical G4 definition, such as AC, usually share only a portion of the microsatellite in the G4 element.
