Abstract

The DNA fraction enriched in replication initiation sites was isolated from cultured embryonic cells of Drosophila melanogaster using a method of nascent DNA strands extrusion. Hybridization experiments have shown that at least a part of replication initiation sites are repetitive sequences and are highly conservative in evolution.
