Autonomously replicating sequences (ARSs) are important accessories in episomal vectors that allow them to be replicated and stably maintained within transformants. Despite their importance, no information on ARSs in diatoms have been reported. Therefore, we attempted to identify ARS candidates in the model diatom, Phaeodactylum tricornutum, via chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing. In this study, subunits of the origin recognition complex (ORC), ORC2 and ORC4, were used to screen for ARS candidates. ORC2 and ORC4 bound to 355 sites on the P. tricornutum genome, of which 69 were constantly screened after multiple attempts. The screened ARS candidates had an AT-richness of approximately 50% (44.39-52.92%) and did not have conserved sequences. In addition, ARS candidates were distributed randomly but had a dense distribution pattern at several sites. Their positions tended to overlap with those of the genetic region (73.91%). Compared to the ARSs of several other eukaryotic organisms, the characteristics of the screened ARS candidates are complex. Thus, our findings suggest that the diatom has a distinct and unique native ARSs.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
