The universal features that define genomic regions acting as replication origins remain unclear. In this study, we mapped a set of origins in Trypanosoma brucei using stranded short nascent strand sequencing method. Our results showed that DNA replication predominantly initiates in intergenic regions between poly(dA)- and poly(dT)-enriched sequences. G4 structures were detected in the vicinity of some origins and were embedded in poly(dA)-enriched sequences in a strand-specific manner: G4s on the plus strand were located upstream, while those on the minus strand were located downstream of the centre. The origins centres were found to be areas of low nucleosome occupancy, surrounded by regions of high nucleosome occupancy. Furthermore, our results demonstrate that 90% of replication origins overlap with a minor proportion of the previously reported RNA: DNA hybrids. These findings shed new light on the sequence and structural features that define the topology of replication origins in T. brucei. To further characterize replication dynamics at the single-molecule level, we employed DNA combing analysis.

"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.
