Where does DNA replication start in archaea?

Genome Biol. 2000;1(3):REVIEWS1020. doi: 10.1186/gb-2000-1-3-reviews1020.

Abstract

Genome-wide measures of DNA strand composition have been used to find archaeal DNA replication origins. Archaea seem to replicate using a single origin (as do eubacteria) even though archaeal replication factors are more like those of eukaryotes.
