The origin of E. coli, oriC, is 245 bp in length. The genome of E. coli is replicated bidirectionally from a single unique site called the origin, identified as the genetic locus oriC.
Two replication forks initiate atoriCand move around the genome at approximately the same speed to a special termination region.
