Abstract
DNA-replication machinery introduces intertwining and supercoiling of DNA strands as it traverses the double helix, which could impede replication and compromise genome stability. A new study in Cell shows that the intrinsic physical properties of chromatin fibers dictate how torsional stress is partitioned to minimize these risks and facilitate DNA replication.
