Escherichia coli and its chromosome.
The Escherichia coli chromosome is a circular DNA molecule that is approximately 1000 times compacted in the living cell, where it occupies approximately 15% of the cellular volume. The genome is organized in a way that facilitates chromosome maintenance and processing. Despite huge efforts, until r...
