I use Jmol to study protein folding. The script here before that generates polypeptide helices is now available in the Recycling Corner: Recycling_Corner/Alpha_Helix_Generator so I have removed it from here. In its place is a similar script I wrote that accepts a nucleotide sequence (1 letter encoding: "TACGAAC...GCT" for example) and generates a DNA or RNA single or double helix using the Model Kit:

#   POLYMERAZE - Jmol script by Ron Mignery
#   v1.0 beta    10/31/2013
#
#   POLYMERAZE takes a string message encoding a nucleotide (nt) sequence
#   and generates a corresponding double helix one nt at a time from the
#   5' terminus to the 3' terminus rotating the emerging helix as it goes.
#
#   The message is a string entered by the user at a prompt.
#   It may be typed in or pasted in and be of any length
#   If prepended with '3' then the string is considered as 3' to 5'
#   If prepended with 'R' then RNA is generated instead of DNA
#   If prepended with 'S' then a single strand helix is produced
#
#   The IUPAC/IUBMB 1 letter code is used:
#   A=Adenine C=Cytosine G=Guanine T=Thymine U=Uracil

# The following constant values determine the pitch of the helices
gO4C4C5O5 = -82.3 - 10      # Values from 30-31:B of 3BSE
gC4C5O5P = 172.5 + 0        # with the indicated tweaks to make
gC5O5PO3 = -44.0 + 9        # it work (sort of - yes, I know
gO5PO3C3 = -109.8 + 0       # the B chain P is a bit screwy)
gPO3C3C4 = -172.9 - 1       #
gCHAIN1 = 'A'    # The chain id
gCHAIN2 = 'B'    # The complementary chain id

# Lookup 3 letter code from 1 letter code
g3from1 = {"A":" DA", "C":" DC","G":" DG", "T":" DT", "U":" DU"}
gComp = {"A":"T", "C":"G","G":"C", "T":"A", "U":"A"}

I thought adapting the Ribozome script to polynucleotides would be easy since there are only four types rather than 20. I was not easy and this script has its problems. With five rotors in a row for each nucleotide, finding correct values for the bond angles was beyond me. If anyone can tweak them better, please do and let me know. Regardless I plan to develop some more utility scripts to make that process easier and hope to update this script in the hopefully not too distant future.
