DNA isn’t the simple, loose double-helix you might see in a biology textbook, so isolating single strands of it can be next to impossible. But with some simple tricks of physics, scientists came up with a special type of tweezers that can unzip DNA! Hosted by: Rose Bear Don't Walk SciShow is on TikTok!
