Abstract
The DNA sequences for the origins of replication of the lambdoid bacteriophages φ80, 434, φ21, and λimm21 (identical to φ21) have been determined and compared to the λ structure. Two presumptive elaborate binding sites for two initiator proteins have been identified in their outer sections, while a replicational primer start site seems to be located in their centres.
