Abstract excerpt
The Escherichia coli genome varies in size from 4.5 to 5.5 Mb. It is unclear whether this variation may be distributed finely throughout the genome or is concentrated at just a few chromosomal loci or on plasmids. Further, the functional correlates of size variation in different genome copies are largely unexplored. We carried out comparative macrorestriction mapping using rare-restriction-site alleles (made with...
