an 11 base sequence, . E. coli contains 9 bases of the 11 base consensus sequence in its oriC, within the 13-mer sequences. These sequences are found exclusively at the single origin of replication; not anywhere else within the genome sequence.

Eukaryotes

Eukaryotic replication mechanisms work in relatively similar ways to that of prokaryotes, but is under more finely-tuned regulation. There is a need to ensure that each DNA molecule is replicated only once and that this is occurring in the proper location at the proper time.
