Novel Computational Tool ZSeeker Accurately Detects Potential Z-DNA Forming Sequences in Genomes
Researchers at the Pennsylvania State University (Penn State) College of Medicine have developed a novel computational tool called ZSeeker, which accurately detects potential Z-DNA forming sequences in genomes. Z-DNA is an alternative left-handed DNA structure with a zigzag-shaped backbone that differs from the right-handed canonical B-DNA helix. Z-DNA has been
