Abstract

The copying of chromosomal DNA initiates from a single nucleoprotein assembly called the prereplication complex. New findings in a recent issue of Molecular Cell (Yardimci et al., 2010) reveal that this complex dissolves into two independent replisomes that move away from each other as DNA synthesis ensues.
