Genome scale patterns of supercoiling in a bacterial chromosome
Bacterial DNA primarily exists in a negatively supercoiled or under-wound state. Here, by mapping the supercoiling state, the authors show that there is a gradient of supercoiling across the bacterial chromosome with the terminus being more negatively supercoiled than the origin.
