DNA can get tangled in the same way, and in some cases, has to be cut and reconnected to resolve the knots. Now a team of mathematicians, biologists and computer scientists has unraveled how E. coli bacteria can unlink tangled DNA by a local reconnection process. The math behind the research, recently published in <em>Scientific Reports</em>, could have implications far beyond biology.</p> October 04, 2017 - 2:14pm Andy Fell /news/knotty-problems-dna
