| Method | Abstract:"Oligonucleotide microarrays were used to map the detailed topography of chromosome replication in the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae." |
| Comments | p.115 right column:"There are estimated to be ~200 to 400 ARSs [Autonomous Replication Sequence elements] in the yeast genome (BNID 111672), and most, but not all, function as chromosomal origins (ref 3). The few origins investigated at the sequence level usually encompass ~200 base pairs (bp), most contain a perfect match or a one-base mismatch to an 11-bp ARS consensus sequence (ACS) (refs 4, 5)." |
