Abstract

Errors occurring during DNA replication can result in inaccurate replication, incomplete replication, or re-replication, resulting in genome instability that can lead to diseases such as cancer or disorders such as autism. A great deal of progress has been made toward understanding the entire process of DNA replication in eukaryotes, including the mechanism of initiation and its control. This review focuses on the current understanding of how the origin recognition complex (ORC) contributes to determining the location of replication initiation in the multiple chromosomes within eukaryotic cells, as well as methods for mapping the location and temporal patterning of DNA replication. Origin specification and configuration vary substantially between eukaryotic species and in some cases co-evolved with gene-silencing mechanisms. We discuss the possibility that centromeres and origins of DNA replication were originally derived from a common element and later separated during evolution.
