| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this project, about a bacteria harboring circular chromosome, we set a goal to recognize the relationship between the genomic structure and replication efficiency, and design a bacterial genome by using various approaches in bioinformatics and genetics. As the results, first, we succeeded in constructing various mutants whose genomic structures were disrupted by inversion and dissection mutations in Bacillus subtilis, and developed a protocol for replication profiling method to observe the behavior of replication forks in cell. Using the mutants and methods, we cleared that the treatment of some gene factor enables to control the replication machinery.
