a, Example contact maps from WT E. coli cells showing various contact patterns. b, Interpretation of the different contact patterns. c, OPCIDs and CHIN networks, as mapped in this study, can facilitate RNAP recycling by bringing promoters (TSSs) and terminators (TESs) into close proximity (i and ii). They can also establish spatial insulation of active operons (ii), enable recombination between distant HTGs (iii) and promote HTG silencing (iv).
