Nucleoid clustering drives stepwise expansion and segregation of replicating bacterial chromosomes
Giada Forte, Enzo Orlandini, Davide Marenduzzo
Bacterial chromosome replication occurs in the absence of a canonical spindle apparatus; yet it reliably produces organised and segregated genomes. While both passive and active me…
Supercoiling DNA with a free end
Daniela Moretti, Giuseppe Gonnella, Antonio Suma +3
In this work, we combine coarse-grained Brownian dynamics simulations and mean-field theory to study supercoiling dynamics, as well as the steady-state profiles of twist and writhe…
Modelling transcriptional silencing and its coupling to 3D genome organisation
Massimiliano Semeraro, Giuseppe Negro, Davide Marenduzzo +1
Timely up- or down-regulation of gene expression is crucial for cellular differentiation and function. While gene upregulation via transcriptional activators has been extensively i…
Plectoneme dynamics and statistics in braided polymers
Giada Forte, Michele Caraglio, Davide Marenduzzo +1
Braids composed of two interwoven polymer chains exhibit a buckling transition whose origin has been explained through the onset of plectonemic structures. Here we study, by a comb…
