| Comments | An ARS (autonomously replicating sequence) extends for ~50 bp and includes a consensus sequence (A) and additional elements (B1-B3). See BNID 102577 Note-Méchali 2010 PMID 20861881 p.728 right column bottom paragraph:"Saccharomyces cerevisiae ORCs specifically recognize a 12 bp consensus sequence (ref 4), but Schizosaccharomyces pombe and metazoan ORCs do not exhibit sequence specificity (refs 5,6)." |
