This study investigates chromosome organization in obligate mammalian symbionts, revealing conserved architectures linked to their lifestyle and growth conditions.

The paper investigates how SPI-1 activation in Salmonella remodels chromatin structure and regulates gene expression through H-NS and HilD interactions.

The paper investigates how MukBEF manages chromosome structure in E. coli and how MatP/matS inhibits its activity through unloading.

The paper studies chromosome organization in longitudinally dividing Neisseriaceae bacteria, finding that the origin of replication is at the host-attached pole and that loop-based folding occurs in specific contexts.

The paper shows that ribosomal RNA operons in Streptomyces define a central functional compartment in the chromosome, with dense core genes and high expression levels.
