What's the difference between linear and reptation?

Reptation
Definition:
(n.) The act of creeping.
Example Sentences:
(1) Using fundamental concepts of hydrodynamics in porous media, we have rederived the Lumpkin-DèJardin-Zimm (LDZ) model for the gel electrophoresis of reptating, infinitely long, worm-like chains, such as DNA.
(2) Reptation theory predicts that channel gating will occur on the millisecond time scale and this is consistent with experimental results from single-channel recording.
(3) In polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, the retardation of DNA molecules containing regions of intrinsic curvature can be explained by a novel reptation model that includes the elastic free energy of the DNA chain.

(6) The dependence of effective radius on PE and the proximity of 2.PcE to the length of the rod are explained by (a) random orientation of rods at PE values in the region of the plateau, and (b) increasingly preferential end-first orientation (reptation) of the rod as PE decreases below PcE.
(7) The other process, slow, is characterized by a reptation time and a mean orientation factor in good agreement with the biased reptation model without overstretching.
(8) The electrophoretic differences were interpreted within the reptation theory to be mainly due to the molecular stiffness differences.
