Abstract

The precise and uniform duplication of a cell's genome is essential to its normal growth. Focal points for the orchestration of this central process are provided by specific loci within the genome that function as sites of initiation of DNA replication. In this paper we present results that allow us to address the structural characteristics of DNA replication origins in yeast.
