In mammals, the bipotential gonad appears to be moved into the female pathway (ovary development) by the Foxl2, Wnt4, and Rspo1 genes.

By counting the number of sites to which ORC binds, we can estimate that there are about 400 origins of replication in the yeast genome.

By counting the number of sites to which ORC binds, we can estimate that there are about 400 origins of replication in the yeast genome. This means that the average length of a replicon is -35,000 bp.
