Mathematical and experimental approaches to the dimer catastrophe theory
Multicopy plasmids rely on random distribution for stable inheritance by daughter cells at division. Threats to plasmid copy number increase the probability of plasmid loss, which can be detrimental to both plasmid and host. Plasmid dimers emerge through homologous recombination. Dimers have two ind...
