Our latest work is out in PNAS!🎉
We show that nonequilibrium polysome dynamics help drive sister chromosomes apart. The closing division septum also contributes via steric interactions.👇

How do bacteria separate their chromosomes without the mitotic spindle machinery?
Our new PNAS paper reveals that E. coli relies on the dynamics of mRNA–ribosome complexes, together with cell constriction, to drive daughter chromosome separation.

We're excited to share our new preprint exploring how active mRNA-ribosome dynamics and closing constriction shape chromosome segregation in E. coli.
