Not all DNA looks like the familiar double helix. Sometimes, parts of our genetic code fold into unusual shapes under certain conditions. One such structure known as a G-quadruplex (G4) looks like a ...
New methods to shape RNA molecules into circles could lead to more effective and long-lasting therapies, shows a new study. The advance holds promise for a range of diseases, offering a more enduring ...
G4 and R-loop signals at the indicated genomic locus. Both G4s and R-loops accumulate in cells where the resolution of G4 knots is defective (red). Not all DNA looks like the familiar twisted ladder.
