To many, the genome is a puzzle—a many-sided puzzle whose meaning stretches across your life, your children's, and your family's. To many, the genome is a puzzle—a many-sided puzzle whose meaning ...

Not all DNA looks like the familiar twisted ladder. Sometimes, parts of our genetic code fold into unusual shapes. One such structure, the G-quadruplex (G4), looks like a knot. These knots can play ...
