Another zip idea, inspired by an annotation on my last one. Sorry to be boring.
The unravelling of a DNA molecule is often compared to
the undoing of a zip fastener. However, in reality zips
consist of parallel rows of teeth. One could be constructed
consisting of two helices of teeth with
a slider that joins
them together into a DNA-like double helix. The tapes holding
the teeth could either be sown into flat fabric at intervals
or one whole side of the garment could consist of a helix
of fabric flattened into the rest of the garment as a sort of
ruffle effect.

I can't picture this...
Perhaps if you could explain a bit better (or a diagram), this category could remain a bone free zone! |

Seems like this would be a pain in the thumb to work with. |

"Is the DNA zipper of your blue genes debased and opening, or are you just happy to see me?" |

Personally I'm against jeanetic engineering. Ahaha!Sorry. |

Jean splicing?
I think this deserves at least one + because it could possibly work, the fact that it would be a royal pain is beside the point. I think that it would be much like trying to re-coil a note pad spine, but if you have enough time on your hands have at it. |

Maybe it could work, maybe not, but I can't figure what you'd attach together or what sort of opening you could close with it. |

Just as large numbers of buttons were a status symbol once because they implied that the wearer had a servant to help dress them, so this could occupy a similar niche, indicating that the wearer had a lot of time on their hands. I can't really provide a diagram because i couldn't draw it clearly. |

I doubt this is even remotely possible. Fishbone unless you can come up with a plausible diagram. |

Do you mean that the two half-zips
would be like two springs which would
snuggle into eachother side by side?
But the two strands of DNA are actually
intertwined, and can't be seperated
unless there's a free end (except locally,
in which case the regions either side of
the opened-up bit get over-twisted to
compensate). |

No, i'm talking about two helical tapes with teeth. However, i think it may be impossible. |
