DNA dynamics can only be understood by taking into account its complex mechanical
behavior at different length scales. At the micrometer level, the mechanical properties of …

Nanofluidic structures have over the last two decades emerged as a powerful platform for
detailed analysis of DNA on the kilobase pair length scale. When DNA is confined to a …

Liquid–liquid phase separation (LLPS) is an important mechanism that helps explain the
membraneless compartmentalization of the nucleus. Because chromatin compaction and …

A Monte Carlo code applied to the cgDNA coarse-grain rigid-base model of B-form double-
stranded DNA is used to predict a sequence-averaged persistence length of l F= 53.5 nm in …

DNA nanotechnology allows for the fabrication of nanometer‐sized objects with high
precision and selective addressability as a result of the programmable hybridization of …

Even though the persistence length LP of double-stranded DNA plays a pivotal role in cell
biology and nanotechnologies, its dependence on ionic strength I lacks a consensual …

Almost all nucleoprotein interactions and DNA manipulation events involve mechanical
deformations of DNA. Extraordinary progresses in single-molecule, structural, and …

Nucleic acids are central to the storage and transmission of genetic information. Mechanical
properties, along with their sequence, both enable and fundamentally constrain the …

In many bacteria, chromosome segregation requires the association of ParB to the parS-
containing centromeric region to form the partition complex. However, the structure and …

Measurements of the capillary-driven thinning and breakup of fluid filaments are widely used
to extract the extensional rheological properties of complex materials. For viscoelastic fluids …
