When we think of DNA we think of this:
|_|
|_|
|_|
| |

But sometimes it looks like this:
\_\
/_/
|_|

Or even this:
|_|_|
|_|_|
\_\_\
/_/_/

And in some cases the molecular makeup, or coding sequence, doesn't matter as much as the shape for determining the resulting protein strands and thus the genetic effect of a given chunk of DNA.

Bottom line: For everything we know about genetics, there's a vast amount that we still have no clue about.

The shape or form of DNA isn't just a simple double helix. There are others. The shape or form of DNA on chromosomes in regions of the DNA formerly described as junk helps to determine what proteins are made.

I hope that helps. It's not simple.
