Ce. Pearson et al., ELECTRON-MICROSCOPIC ANALYSIS OF IN-VITRO REPLICATION PRODUCTS OF ORS-8, A MAMMALIAN ORIGIN ENRICHED SEQUENCE, Somatic cell and molecular genetics, 20(3), 1994, pp. 147-152
Electron microscopy was used to map the initiation site of ors 8 DNA r
eplication in vitro in a system that is capable of initiating and supp
orting one round of semiconservative replication of cloned mammalian D
NA origin-enriched sequences (ors). Using unique restriction sites in
ors 8 plasmid DNA, we have mapped the replication bubble within the mo
nkey DNA sequence. In addition to site-specific initiation within the
ors, the results also indicate bidirectional replication.
