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

This table lists the methods used to annotate genes either directly to the term
DNA replication initiation (33 genes)
or to its variants containing one or more
qualifiers (0 genes). Note that some genes may have been annotated by more than one method so the numbers in the table below may not add up to the totals given here.
