Abstract excerpt
The replisome catalyses DNA synthesis at a DNA replication fork. The molecular behaviour of the individual replisomes, and therefore the dynamics of replication fork movements, in growing Escherichia coli cells remains unknown. DNA combing enables a single-molecule approach to measuring the speed of replication fork progression in cells pulse-labelled with thymidine analogues. We constructed a new...
