Even though the persistence length L-P of double-stranded DNA plays a pivotal role in cell biology and nanotechnologies, its dependence on ionic strength I lacks a consensual description. Using a high-throughput single-molecule technique and statistical physics modeling, we measure L-P in the presence of monovalent (Li+, Na+, K+) and divalent (Mg2+, Ca2+) metallic and alkyl ammonium ions, over a large range 0.5 mM
