GO term: DNA replication initiation Help



Ontology: Biological Process (GO:0006270)

Definition: The process in which DNA-dependent DNA replication is started; this involves the separation of a stretch of the DNA double helix, the recruitment of DNA polymerases and the initiation of polymerase action.

Synonyms: DNA re-replication initiation; DNA endoreduplication initiation; DNA-dependent DNA replication initiation
