Double-strand breaks (DSBs) can lead to the loss of genetic information and cell death. Consequently, cells in all domains of life have evolved mechanisms to repair DSBs, including through homologous recombination. Although recombination has been well characterized, the spatial organization of this ...

Chromosomes must be highly compacted and organized within cells, but how this is achieved in vivo remains poorly understood. We report the first use of Hi-C to map the structure of bacterial chromosomes at a high, unprecedented resolution. Analysis of Hi-C data and polymer modeling indicates that th...
