Context:


"We show that the simple DNA double helix exists in an alternative form -- for one percent of the time -- and that this alternative form is functional," said Hashim M. Al-Hashimi, who is the Robert L. Kuczkowski Professor of Chemistry and Professor of Biophysics at U-M. "Together, these data suggest that there are multiple layers of information stored in the genetic code." The findings were published online Jan. 26 in the journal Nature.

@oristarA,

One must suppose that both forms of the double helix occur naturally.

So the 1% which are different from the simple form could be described as being more complex, perhaps? Or just different in some way.
