Orientation of DNA Minicircles Balances Density and Topological Complexity in Kinetoplast DNA.
Kinetoplast DNA (kDNA), a unique mitochondrial structure common to trypanosomatid parasites, contains thousands of DNA minicircles that are densely packed and can be topologically linked into a chain mail-like network. Experimental data indicate that every minicircle in the network is, on average, s...
