The initiation of eukaryotic DNA replication

A Costa, JFX Diffley - Annual review of biochemistry, 2022 - annualreviews.org

have major effects on levels of gene expression, and numerous chromatin-altering …

Eukaryotic DNA replication origins: many choices for appropriate answers

M Méchali - Nature reviews Molecular cell biology, 2010 - nature.com
At each cell division in humans, 30,000–50,000 DNA replication origins are activated, and it
