Dowker and Thistlethwaite have proved that the notation specifies prime knots uniquely, up to reflection. [1]In the more general case, a knot can be recovered from a Dowker–Thistlethwaite sequence, but the recovered knot may differ from the original by either being a reflection or by having any connected sum component reflected in the line between its entry/exit points – the Dowker ...
The Hopf link is a simple example of a link with two components that is not an unlink.; The Borromean rings form a link with three components that is not an unlink; however, any two of the rings considered on their own do form a two-component unlink.
The unknotting number of a knot is always less than half of its crossing number. [2] This invariant was first defined by Hilmar Wendt in 1936.

The following table show the unknotting numbers for the first few knots:
