5 sources for · 0 against

Multiple studies demonstrate that DNA molecules naturally form complex topological knots and entanglements due to helical structure, replication, and intracellular processes.

Evidence for · 5
Condensin minimizes topoisomerase II-mediated entanglements of DNA in vivo.
2021 · cited by 43
Condensin minimizes topoisomerase II-mediated entanglements of DNA in vivo, indicating that DNA knots naturally form and must be actively suppressed.

The analysis

The retrieved papers consistently confirm that DNA naturally forms complex knots and entanglements as a byproduct of its double-helical structure, replication, and cellular processing (e.g., papers 0, 2, 4, 5, 11). There are no papers refuting this claim; therefore, the verdict is SUPPORTED.
