We describe a locally finite graph naturally associated to each knot type K, called the Reidemeister graph. We determine several local and global properties of this graph and prove that the graph-isomorphism type is a complete knot invariant up to mirroring. Lastly (time permitting), we introduce another object, relating the Reidemeister and Gordian graphs, and briefly present an application to the study of DNA.
