Scientists discover unusual DNA structures in the human genome beyond the double helix

For over 70 years, the double helix has been the defining symbol of DNA since its description in 1953. New research shows that the human genome contains far more complex and unusual DNA structures whose biological roles are only now being explored. Scientists believe these structures may serve important functions in the body.
