Article Overhaul
Archae are prokaryotes too - yet DNA replication in the Archaea is very different from the bacteria (see http://mmbr.asm.org/content/70/4/876.abstract for example). Shouldn't this article be called 'Bacterial DNA replication' or something similar to reflect this? Archaeal replication is very close to eukaryotes and could probably be one page together - but then that page name would need to change as well. Jdvelasc (talk) 05:52, 15 October 2013 (UTC)

Was everything in this page found with the two references listed at the bottom? The entire page is missing in-text citations. Also, isn't the rate of E. coli replication about 1000 bases per second? I think it is important to describe how E. coli can divide every 20 minutes, when it takes nearly 40 minutes to replicate the entire genome. --JWamsley (talk) 19:29, 6 February 2017 (UTC)

I've begun rewriting large portions of the article. I can't view the potential reference listed, so I'm adding all-new ones. Besides Initiation, I will soon edit the other sections as well. Mbarnett2014 (talk) 01:20, 20 March 2017 (UTC)
