    "abstract": "This paper introduces the use of cable dynamics models as a means to explore\nthe mechanics of DNA on long-length scales. It is on these length scales that\nDNA forms twisted and curved three-dimensional shapes known as supercoils and\nloops. These long-length scale DNA structures have a pronounced influence on\nthe functions of this molecule within the cell including the packing of DNA in\nthe cell nucleus, transcription, replication and gene repair. We provide a\nshort background to the mechanics of DNA and suggest the logical connection to\nthe mechanics of a low tension cable. A computational model is then summarized\nand example results are presented for DNA supercoiling and looping.",
