SUMMARY
Non-canonical DNA segments differ from canonical DNA segments in that they do not conform to the established structural rules of DNA. Canonical forms adhere to recognized patterns and behaviors, while non-canonical forms exhibit unorthodox characteristics. This distinction is crucial for understanding DNA structure and function, particularly in the context of genetic research and molecular biology.
