One such structure, the G-quadruplex (G4), looks like a knot. These knots can play important roles in turning genes on or off. But if not untangled in time, they can harm our genome. Now, researchers from the Knipscheer Group at the Hubrecht Institute, in collaboration with the Karolinska Institute, have uncovered a surprising mechanism that keeps
