Why a Particle Physicist is Interested in DNA Branch Migration
Abstract
We describe an explicitly discrete model of the process of DNA branch migration. The model matches the existing data well, but we find that branch migration along long strands of DNA ( N ≳ 40 bp) is also well modeled by continuum diffusion. The discrete model is still useful for guiding future experiments.
