Nucleosome-directed replication origin licensing independent of a consensus DNA sequence

Most eukaryotes do not use a consensus DNA sequence as binding sites for the origin recognition complex (ORC) to initiate DNA replication, however budding yeast do. Here the authors show S. cerevisiae ORC can bind nucleosomes near nucleosome-free regions and recruit replicative helicases to form a p...
