The International Meetings on Quadruplex Nucleic Acids, organised bi-annually since 2007, are the major conference series in the field of G-quadruplexes and guanosine self-assembly.
The community of researchers interested in quadruplexes was initially comparable to the "fellowship of the Quartet", but has grown exponentially. A remarkable quantity of information has been obtained since the discovery of the G-quadruplex motif, which has made this field to grow from basic science to clinical applications. The pace of progress took another leap during the last decade, and quadruplexes changed status from lab curiosity to hot topic within a few years thanks to seminal contributions from several laboratories.
