Additional WholeCellViz visualizations. Visualizations highlight one wild-type in silico cell at various time points. (a) Instantaneous shape of M. genitalium as it initially elongates and later pinches at the septum, forming two daughter cells. (b) Instantaneous FtsZ contractile ring size. FtsZ rings iteratively contract at the cell septum to pinch the cell membrane during cytokinesis. (c) Instantaneous polymerization (blue), methylation (orange), strand break (red), and protein-binding status of the M. genitalium chromosomes. (d-g) Heatmaps of the copy number dynamics of immature proteins (d), immature RNA (e), mature proteins (f), and mature RNA (g). Each gene product is normalized to its maximal expression. Yellow indicates high expression; blue indicates low expression. (h) Occupancy of the oriC functional DnaA boxes which recruit DNA polymerase to the oriC to initiate replication.
