Replicon
A segment of the eukaryotic genome that contains several genes and is replicated as a unit from a single origin. Replication is bi-directional; its boundaries are the points where replication from one origin meets the replication fork which advances from the opposite direction. Each replicon is presumed to be identical to a DNA loop.
