Living without origins

Living without origins

Whereas bacterial chromosomes are replicated from a single origin, eukaryotes and most archaea use multiple origins and share similar replication machinery. Recent work by Allers and colleagues using the model halophile Haloferax volcanii suggests that this archaeal genome can also be replicated by...

Zusammenfassung:Whereas bacterial chromosomes are replicated from a single origin, eukaryotes and most archaea use multiple origins and share similar replication machinery. Recent work by Allers and colleagues using the model halophile Haloferax volcanii suggests that this archaeal genome can also be replicated by an origin-independent mechanism.
