title: Initiation of DNA replication: a new hint from archaea.
abstract: In this issue, Robinson and coworkers provide new insights into the mechanisms of initiation of chromosome replication in Archea. This and other studies, focused on model organisms, will certainly help to understand how the replication process has evolved in Eukaryotes.
