Dynamics of topological solitons describing open states in the DNA double helix are studied in the framework of a model that takes into account asymmetry of the helix. It is shown that three types of topological solitons can occur in the DNA double chain. Interaction between the solitons, their interactions with the chain inhomogeneities, and stability of the solitons with respect to thermal oscillations are investigated.
