A concatemer is a long DNA molecule consisting of multiple copies of the same sequence linked together. This occurs during replication when the circular DNA molecule is replicated and the two daughter strands become intertwined, resulting in a chain of repeated sequences. Concatemers are commonly found in bacteriophages and other viruses that have a circular genome.
