Within eukaryotes, DNA replication is controlled within the context of the cell cycle. As the cell grows and divides, it progresses through stages in the cell cycle; DNA replication takes place during the S phase (synthesis phase).
DNA replication is initiated at a specific or unique sequence called the origin of replication, and ends at unique termination sites. The region of DNA between these two sites is termed as a replication unit or replicon.
