Abstract
Hairpins in the conformation of DNA confined in nanochannels close to their persistence length cause the distribution of their fractional
extensions to be heavily left skewed. A recent theory rationalizes these skewed distributions using a correlated telegraph process, which can
be solved exactly in the asymptotic limit of small but frequent hairpin formation. Pruned-enriched Rosenbluth method simulations of the
fractional extension distribution for a channel-confined wormlike chain confirm the predictions of the telegraph model. Remarkably, the
asymptotic result of the telegraph model remains robust well outside the asymptotic limit. As a result, the approximations in the theory
required to map it to the polymer model and solve it in the asymptotic limit are not the source of discrepancies between the predictions of
the telegraph model and experimental distributions of the extensions of DNA during genome mapping. The agreement between theory and
simulations motivates future work to determine the source of the remaining discrepancies between the predictions of the telegraph model
and experimental distributions of the extensions of DNA in nanochannels used for genome mapping.
