The Polymer Physics of Kinetoplast DNA as a Polymerised Membrane
Takahiro Sakaue, Davide Michieletto
We analyze the conformational and dynamical properties of the kinetoplast DNA (kDNA), a massive sheet-like structure made from thousands of circular DNA molecules, found in the mit…

Organisation and dynamics of individual DNA segments in topologically complex genomes
Saminathan Ramakrishnan, Auro Varat Patnaik, Guglielmo Grillo +2
Capturing the physical organisation and dynamics of genomic regions is one of the major open challenges in biology. The kinetoplast DNA (kDNA) is a topologically complex genome, ma…
