Abstract
Flipons: The discovery of Z-DNA and soft-wired genomes Alan Herbert, Founder and President of InsideOutBio, discusses alternative DNA conformations and understanding of their biological functions. One of the great things about science is that every time you think you really understand things and can’t imagine how they could work differently, life surprises you. The biggest mistake you can make is believing that nature works according to your best design. Take physics, for example – first, there were the four humors, then atoms, then protons and electrons, then even more particles, and then quarks – who knows what’s next? Similarly, biology is undergoing its own progression, and we are finding that there is more to life than just Watson and Crick’s DNA.
