SO(10) cosmic strings formed during the phase transition Spin(10)$\rightarrow$ SU(5) $\times{\cal Z}_2$ are studied. Two types of strings ---one effectively Abelian and one non-Abelian --- are constructed and the stringsolutions are calculated numerically. The non-Abelian string can catalyzebaryon number violation via the ``twisting'' of the scalar field which causesmixing of leptons and quarks in the fermion multiplet. The non-Abelian stringis also found to have the lower energy possibly for the entire range of theparameters in the theory. Scattering of fermions in the fields of the stringsis analyzed, and the baryon number violation cross section is calculated. Therole of the self-adjoint parameters is discussed and the values are computed.Comment: LaTex (RevTex), 36 pages, 6 figures (available upon request),  MIT-CTP#215
