Definition of the sequence completeness of the transfer origin region (oriT):
intact: the
oriT region displays the full activity of ssDNA transfer origin, including the
nic site and all the inverted repeats (IRs) that bind the proteins involved in DNA transfer.
core: the
oriT core region consists of the
nic site and one pair of IR located near
nic
(indispensable for origin of ssDNA transfer, but not displaying the full activity).
incomplete: only conserved nick region, or only IRs
