Initiator proteins break hydrogen bonds separating short length of DNA, AT base pairs are held together by fewer hydrogen bonds than GC pair. Thus AT pairs are easier to pull apart, At rich regions are typically found in the replication origins. Replication origins are site at which DNA is first opened.
<span>Dr. Stott is researching epigenetics. Epigenetics is the study of changes that occur in gene expression with no changes in the actual gene sequences. Environmental factors can influence gene expression without changing the DNA sequence, making this the study of epigenetics.</span>
