DNA recombination involves the exchange of genetic material either between multiple chromosomes or between different regions of the same chromosome.

As DNA polymerase makes its way down the unwound DNA strand, it relies upon the pool of free-floating nucleotides surrounding the existing strand to build the new strand.

The reality is far messier than an abstract spiral staircase. Scientists are learning fascinating new things about how DNA is really shaped.
