They change the structure of the DNA. Any change in the structure will
have an effect on gene expression, and they have shown experimentally
that the presence of triple helixes does appear to be one of the ways
that nature controls gene expression. I think triple helixes are more
significant than that, and when I find a publisher for my book....

Hi,

Triple helixes are not involved in replication. The DNA/DNA/RNA
version forms when RNA that is produced from the DNA then wraps itself
around the double stranded DNA and it thne restructures itself to form a
triple helix.
What role does the triple helix play in nature, or is this merely a "lab
curiosity"?
