What Does ARS Stand For?
ARS stands for Autonomously Replicating Sequence
ARS, or Autonomously Replicating Sequence, refers to a specific DNA sequence that enables the initiation of replication in eukaryotic cells. ARS elements are crucial for the proper duplication of the genome during the cell cycle, allowing for the formation of new copies of DNA without relying on external factors. They play a significant role in cellular processes such as growth and division, making them essential for maintaining genetic stability and integrity in various organisms.
