Quadruple Helix (DNA) Tracked Live

DNA, as we have known, from documentaries and sci-fi movies, is based on a double helix structure. However, scientists and biologists have known that a quadruple helix-structure exists, especially in cancer cells. In the past, attempts to learn the origins and function of these quadruple helix involved using a probe which either killed the cell…
