It is demonstrated in our studies that intrinsic curvatures of organismal DNAs could lead to the generation of duplex backbone self-crossings in their relaxed forms. In addition, the backbone self-crossings of the organismal DNAs could be readily confirmed through atomic force microscopic examinatio...
