Overlapping oriC and centromere-like functions in secondary genome replicons determine their maintenance independent of chromosome I in Deinococcus radiodurans
The paper shows that cisII and cisMP elements in Deinococcus radiodurans contain both origin and centromere-like functions, enabling independent maintenance of secondary genome replicons.
