Table 1. Estimates of total number of origins by different criteria (estimates from all but first two rows rely on candidate MCM binding sites [CMBSs] from this report).
| Criterion | Estimate of number of origins |
|---|---|
| SGD classification | 354 (343 of which map unambiguously) |
| OriDB classification | 829 (410 confirmed, 216 likely, 203 dubious) |
| Generation of ssDNA in HU | 1600 |
| BrdU incorporation | 1400 |
| Nucleosome-free regions | 5000 |
| Transition from mostly intergenic to mostly genic | 6000 |
| Transition from low transcription genic to high transcription genic | 5000 |
| ACS motif | 6000 |
| GC skew | 6000 |
