The DNA configuration was calculated from our model for compacted DNA. The DNA was represented as a self-avoiding walk on a lattice with sites (representing a cellular volume of ). The lattice spacing is equal to the blob diameter . The chromosome then consists of 2000 blobs. The color coding represents the distance from ori and ter: gene positions close to ori are shown in red, gene positions close to ter are shown in blue. Intermediate regions on the ori to ter and on the ter to ori segment are shown in green.
