Origins of Replication
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
An origin of replication is a specific DNA sequence where the replication machinery assembles and unwinding begins, opening a replication bubble.
Show
E. coli's single circular chromosome carries one AT-rich origin of replication, roughly 245 base pairs long.
Watch for
An origin marks where replication starts, not where it ends — the replication forks it opens travel outward in both directions.
