For a tiny embryo to grow into an entire fruit fly, mouse or human, the correct genes in each cell must turn on and off in precisely the right sequence. This intricate molecular dance produces the many parts of the whole creature, from muscles and skin to

Normal DNA will switch to left-handed DNA when it is physically twisted, or when a lot of salt is added to the solution. Researchers were able to accurately calculate for the first time the amount of salt which is required to do this. Z-
