In prokaryotes, the circular chromosome is contained in the cytoplasm in an area called the nucleoid. In contrast, in eukaryotes ... structures. DNA takes this form following DNA replication ...

2004). Also, whereas bacterial chromosomes are circular, eukaryotic chromosomes are linear. During circular DNA replication, the excised primer is readily replaced by nucleotides, leaving no gap ...

The completion of chromosome synXVI allows scientists to explore new possibilities in metabolic engineering and strain ...

We are interested in the mechanism of chromosome replication, a process that is highly conserved across eukaryotes and that involves the duplication of both the chromosomal DNA and its associated ...
