I got a request to make piece of beaded DNA that is forked to look like it's replicating.
The specific sequence it shows is this:
GACN6GTC
CTGN6CAG
Because this sequence is a palindrome, when you fork it at the center, you get three identical branches.
This
DNA sequence is recognized by an enzyme produced by this particular
bacteria, Deinococcus radiodurans. It's a very tough bacterium. When I read, "As a consequence of
its hardiness, it has been nicknamed Conan the Bacterium," I knew it
was the one!

Great! Thank you!
