| Abstract |
DNA replication is essential to cellular proliferation. The cellular-scale organization of the replication machinery (replisome) and the replicating chromosome has remained controversial. Two competing models describe the replication process: In the track model, the replisomes translocate along the DNA like a train on a track. Alternately, in the factory model, the replisomes form a stationary complex through which the DNA is pulled. We summarize the evidence for each model and discuss a number of confounding aspects that complicate interpretation of the observations. We advocate a factory-like model for bacterial replication where the replisomes form a relatively stationary and weakly associated complex that can transiently separate. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 5. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 06 May 2018.
All research outputs
#5,929,099
of 22,952,268 outputs
Outputs from Current Genetics
#259
of 1,203 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#104,348
of 328,976 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Current Genetics
#4
of 22 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,952,268 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 73rd percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,203 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.3. This one has done well, scoring higher than 78% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 328,976 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 67% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 22 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 86% of its contemporaries.
