- The structure is named after Robin Holliday, the molecular biologist who proposed its existence in 1964.
- In biology, Holliday junctions are a key intermediate in many types of genetic recombination, as well as in double-strand break repair.

ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 72 and blocks with 71: each hit it takes is cut by 28 %.
