DNA duplex unwinding [GO_0032508]

The process in which interchain hydrogen bonds between two strands of DNA are broken or ‘melted’, generating a region of unpaired single strands. Note that this term refers to a geometric change in DNA conformation, and should not be confused with ‘DNA topological change ; GO:0006265’.
