(Abstract:) "[Investigators] characterized Oris by nascent strand (NS) purification and a genome-wide analysis in Drosophila and mouse cells." |
| Comments |
"In metazoans, DNA replication is initiated at thousands of chromosomal sites during each S phase. These DNA replication origins (Oris) should be activated only once at each cell cycle to avoid any amplification and maintain genome integrity. This is an important task in human or mouse cells, where 30,000 replication Oris are activated at each cell division." |
