Does look rather fancy. :)

I'm going to have to read some papers about this because I'm not entirely sure why that is even happening, my lectures haven't really covered this! XD If they have I've definitely forgotten.

Sure, these are interesting news, but not a major breakthrough.

I've finished the first part of my biochemistry lectures last week, and quadruple helixes were covered.
