Other Species

Have added citation needed tags where another article appears to contradict this article; likely due to newly discovered information. RAD51 appears to repair DNA in-place using a third strand... this is apparently much more common than asserted here, likely e.coli was where it was first discovered? 149.169.207.30 (talk) 21:08, 27 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

My understanding of RAD51 is it is a partial third helix that is removed by an, as of yet, undiscovered process. So, it's not a triple stand helix, but a protein matrix that repairs the DNA, then is removed.Wzrd1 (talk) 17:10, 28 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Pop Culture

This page will start getting a lot of hits. It is the basis for part of the story in the new Assassin's Creed Unity game. A reference to the game should probably be included. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.184.146.185 (talk) 20:06, 11 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This article is very confusing

In the introduction, real triple helical DNA (that exists) is talked about and all of a sudden, without making a distiction, in the history section the topic is the wrong DNA model suggested 1953, with the phosphate backbone on the inside, which doesn't exist. Then the article goes back - again without making clear, what is what - to real triple helical DNA, with the phosphate backbone outside and the third strand in the major groove of B-form DNA - which is something completely different.

This issue should be addressed. --Felix Tritschler (talk) 14:09, 19 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
