Laboratory Evolution Experiments Help Identify a Predominant Region of Constitutive Stable DNA Replication Initiation

The bacterium E. coli can replicate its DNA even in the absence of the molecules that are required for canonical replication initiation. This often requires the formation of RNA-DNA hybrid structures and is referred to as constitutive stable DNA replication (cSDR). Where on the chromosome does cSDR...
