Method "Most of the information in the OriDB database is collated from four microarray-based studies, each of which produced a list of proposed origin sites (refs 24–27), and a fifth study which produced a list of confirmed origin sites (ref 12)."
Comments "‘Confirmed’ origins are those have been cloned and tested by ARS [Autonomously Replicating Sequences] assay and/or have been detected by 2D gel analysis. ‘Likely’ origin sites have been identified by two (or more) microarray studies but have not yet been confirmed. ‘Dubious’ origin sites are those identified by only one microarray study." "Data from additional studies will be added to the database as they become available. This process may result in the criteria described above ‘evolving’. The status of predicted origins will certainly change as more origin sites are experimentally verified. At the time of writing OriDB contains 613 replication origin sites (279 Confirmed 192 Likely and 142 Dubious)." Database site address - link
