Prediction of the origin of replication of M. hyorhinis. A 1935-bp large oriC region (LoriC) of M. hyorhinis strain HUB-1 was predicted around the dnaA. It contains short AT-rich regions of 83% and 85% upstream and downstream dnaA respectively. To generate mini-oriC, the regions upstream and downstream dnaA, were amplified as fragment A (563-bp) and fragment B (313-bp). These two fragments were joined by overlapping PCR to form mini-oriC (MoriC, 876-bp).
