The initiation of eukaryotic DNA replication

A Costa, JFX Diffley - Annual review of biochemistry, 2022 - annualreviews.org
DNA replication in eukaryotic cells initiates from large numbers of sites called replication
origins. Initiation of replication from these origins must be tightly controlled to ensure the …
