By switching conformation from the two-stranded right-handed Watson and Crick DNA to a four stranded quadruplex structure, many aspects of gene transcription and RNA processing are modulated. https://t.co/xeuWfuKEp3

The "Flipon" book on Z-DNA and Z-RNA and soft-wired genomes is now available on Kindle for free at Amazon. The book is quite eclectic with the history of DNA and many other exciting discoveries described along with the politcs involved.

@royalsociety Yes, Parinaz Mehdipour at Oxford has just agreed to be the UK based co-organizer. We will discuss the application tomorrow and plan to submit by April 10th. Thanks for reaching out - we are excited about the roles alternative DNA/RNA conformations play in health and disease.
The open access version of Alan Herbert's book on flipons is now available for download. Learn about dynamic ways of encoding genetic information within the genome and how these findings pave the way for a new generation of RNA therapeutics

Our paper using the same transformer algorithm in ChatBox (and originally developed at Google) to map Z-DNA in the human genome is now out. We show how variants map to a range of different human traits as well as to mendelian diseases. 10.26508/lsa.202301962 @LSAjournal
An RNA Microcode Underlying Embryonic Development The microcode embedded in small RNAs bootstraps gene expression at early stages of embryonic development by changing DNA conformation of flipons (Z-DNA, G4 Quadruplexes and other non-B-DNA structures)
