Characteristics used to define Origins of Replication * The position on the DNA at which replication start points are found. (4 methods discussed) * A DNA sequence that when added to a non-replicating DNA causes it to replicate. * A DNA sequence whose mutation abolishes replication. * A DNA sequence that in vitro is the binding target for enzyme complexes known to function in initiation of DNA replication. 免疫学信息网http://www.immuneweb.com
