  • Measured the extent of replication-dependent retardation in fragment migration.

    • Main Results:

    • Demonstrated that DNA fragments with replication forks migrate slower in agarose gels.
    • Showed that the degree of retardation correlates with the extent of replication.
    • Successfully identified DNA replication origins as sites of replication fork divergence.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed method accurately determines replication fork direction.
    • This technique enables the identification of DNA replication origins.
    • The method is applicable to various DNA systems, including simian virus 40 DNA.
