Models of viral genome partitioning. In the Random Attachment model, HPV genomes associate with the host chromosomes after DNA replication. In the Faithful Partitioning Model, the viral genomes are attached to the host chromatin throughout the cell cycle. Each daughter molecule is faithfully distributed to a daughter cell. Shown are viral DNA (yellow), host DNA (cyan), cohesin (orange), and the spindle (teal).
