Management of multipartite genomes: the Vibrio cholerae model

Highlights • All Vibrio species carry a genome divided in multiple chromosomes. • Replication of the two V. cholerae chromosomes is temporally regulated and coupled to the cell cycle. • The two chromosomes have distinctive replication origins whose replication firing involves common and specific fac...

Description
Summary:Highlights • All Vibrio species carry a genome divided in multiple chromosomes. • Replication of the two V. cholerae chromosomes is temporally regulated and coupled to the cell cycle. • The two chromosomes have distinctive replication origins whose replication firing involves common and specific factors. • The two V. cholerae chromosomes are organized along different patterns within the cell and occupy different subcellular domains.
