We report a novel method for manipulation of single giant DNA molecules under a video microscope. Using optically driven microstructures, we manipulated chromosomal DNA of length in the order of millimetres, extended by electroosmotic flow without DNA breakage in aqueous solution: we picked up DNA, using microfabricated hooks and wound it around microfabricated bobbins.
