SCIENTISTS have discovered four-stranded DNA structures, G-quadruplexes, in human blood plasma for the first time. This discovery adds a new layer of information to genetic material and has potential for diagnostics.
Unusual folded genetic structures were found in human blood. We are talking about G-quadruplexes, the study of which in the future may help to learn more about processes in the body.
