a region necessary for stable replication and copy number control of the plasmid
a unit of DNA replication (replication eye)
sequence of DNA that can be replicated from a single starting point
A segment of genomic DNA that contains an origin of replication and is replicated under the control of that origin.
The portion of a DNA molecule which is replicable from a single origin. Plasmids and the chromosomes of bacteria, phages and other viruses usually have a single origin of replication and, in these cases, the entire DNA molecule constitutes a single replicon. Eukaryotic chromosomes have multiple internal origins and thus contain several replicons. The word is often used in the sense of a DNA molecule capable of independent replication, e.g., "The shuttle vector pJDB219 is a replicon in both yeast and E. coli."
A DNA molecule that is able to initiate its own replication. A replicon must have an origin of replication and usually also has the necessary regulatory information required for the proper initiation of DNA replication.
a genetic element that behaves as an autonomous unit during DNA replication; contains a segment to which a specific RNA polymerase binds and a replicator locus at which DNA replication commences
A chromosomal region under the influence of one adjacent replication-initiation locus.
is a unit of the genome in which DNA is replicated; contains an origin for initiation of replication.
Any DNA sequence or molecule that possesses a replication origin and is therefore potentially capable of being replicated in a suitable cell. ( 16)
Region of DNA served by one replication origin.
A replicon is a DNA molecule or RNA molecule, or a region of DNA or RNA that replicates from a single origin of replication.
