Abstract excerpt
Chromosome duplication initiates via the assembly of replication forks at defined origins. Forks proceed in opposite directions until they fuse with a converging fork. Recent work highlights that fork fusions are highly choreographed both in pro- and eukaryotic cells. The circular Escherichia coli chromosome is replicated from a single origin (oriC), and a single fork fusion takes place in a specialised...
