I never really thought about all the tension and twisting stuff when I was learning about transcription. But, to carry it through, sometimes things do go wrong with DNA/RNA transcriptions. Sometimes the nuclei of cells go all screwy, and don't heal, no? After all, that's why you're employed as you are; sometimes cells get their transcription and/or reproductive stuff messed up.
