A new form of DNA in our cells.
Found: A new form of DNA in our cells Scientists have tracked down an elusive 'tangled knot' of DNA Date: April 23, 2018 Source: Garvan Institute of Medical Research Summary: In a world first, researchers have identified a new DNA structure -- called the i-motif -- inside cells. A twisted 'knot' of DNA, the i-motif has never before been directly seen inside living cells.

Credit: Chris Hammang It's DNA, but not as we know it. In a world first, Australian researchers have identified a new DNA structure -- called the i-motif -- inside cells. A twisted 'knot' of DNA, the i-motif has never before been directly seen inside living cells. The new findings, from the Garvan Institute of Medical Research, are published today in the leading journal Nature Chemistry. Deep inside the cells in our body li...
