How to Respond to an Epidemic. Imagine an epidemic so virulent that it is the leading cause of death for children, teens, young adults. It takes 125,000 lives in America alone every year, not to mention causing nearly $80 billion in medical costs.
The origin of replication (also called the replication origin) is a particular sequence in a genome at which replication is initiated. This can either involve the replication of DNA in living organisms such as prokaryotes and eukaryotes, or that of DNA or RNA in viruses, such as double-stranded RNA viruses.
Nucleotide sequence of the origin of replication of the Escherichia coli K-12 chromosome. Meijer M, Beck E, Hansen FG, Bergmans HE, Messer W, von Meyenburg K, Schaller H. The origin of replication, oriC, of the Escherichia coli chromosome was mapped within a DNA segment of 422 base pairs.The nucleotide sequence of this segment was determined.he nucleotide sequence of the replication origin is characterized by a high degree of repetitiveness due to both inverted and direct repeats. Sequence homologies were found between portions of the replication origins of E. coli and phages lambda and G4.
