According to Garvan's Mahdi Zeraati[1], the first author of the new study, the i-motif is only one of several DNA structures that do not take the form of the double helix - including A-DNA, Z-DNA, triplex DNA and cross-form DNA - and that could also exist in our cells.
Another type of DNA structure, called G quadruplex (G4) DNA, was first visualized in 2013 by researchers in human cells who used a constructed antibody to reveal G4 in cells.
