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.
Some bacteria such as Borrellia Spirochetes (which causes Lyme disease) contain a linear chromosome rather than a circular one. Within the well defined nucleus of the eukaryote, chromosomes have a sequence-based and well defined structure, while in prokaryotes there is a single point from where replication starts. In archaea, however, replication may originate at multiple points. The non-bound nuclei found in prokaryotes do not have a well defined DNA structure organized around proteins, with the exception of the archaea where DNA is packaged to form nucleosomes. The nucleoid occupies a central position in the bacterial cell as the nucleus does in eukaryotic cells.
