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.
Replication origin sequences vary among metazoans, but the functions of proteins that bind replication origins are conserved. Eukaryotic origins exhibit a modular structure. Modularity is detectable in singleâcell eukaryotes such as yeast and is more pronounced in metazoans, in which replication origins often cluster.ukaryotic deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) replication begins at specific genomic sites called replication origins that serve as assembly sites for prereplication complexes (preRCs).
