A model for Escherichia coli chromosome packaging supports transcription factor-induced DNA domain formation

What physical mechanism leads to organization of a highly condensed and confined circular chromosome? Computational modeling shows that confinement-induced organization is able to overcome the chromosome's propensity to mix by the formation of topological domains. The experimentally observed hi...
