CDCâs Epidemic Intelligence Service officers are elite global health sleuths that respond 24/7 to emerging threats and disease outbreaks. They continue to respond to the multistate meningitis outbreak as they have to past outbreaks.
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.he origin of replication (also called the replication origin) is a particular sequence in a genome at which replication is initiated.

The first model for a DNA synthesis regulatory circuit was described about 50 years ago (Jacob et al. 1963), based on the idea that an early, key step in building new replication forks was the binding of a chromosomally encoded initiator protein to specialized DNA regions, termed replication origins (Fig. 1). The number of replication origins in a genome is, for the most part, dependent on chromosome size. Bacterial and archaeal genomes, which usually consist of a small circular chromosome, frequently have a single replication origin (Barry and Bell 2006; Gao and Zhang 2007).
