Sequencing Newly Replicated DNA Reveals Widespread Plasticity in Human Biology Diagrams DNA replication timing Cold Spring Harb Perspect Biol. 2013 Aug 1;5(8):a010132. doi: 10.1101/cshperspect.a010132. One striking new correlation to emerge from these analyses is between replication timing and the three-dimensional structure of chromosomes. This correlation, which is significantly stronger than with any single histone
DNA replication timing varies among individuals at specific loci. A. FACS-sorting cells by DNA content enables analysis of DNA copy number (by whole-genome sequencing) in G1 and S phase cells (adapted from Koren et al., 2012).. B. Analysis of the ratio of DNA copy number between S- and G1-phase cells along each chromosome allows the construction of replication timing profiles; early Keywords: DNA replication timing, DNA replication origin, S-phase regulation, MCM, ORC, Stochastic model, Origin activation. Introduction. The temporal organization of DNA replication during S phase is a fascinating subject on many levels.
DNA Replication Timing, Genome Stability and Cancer Biology Diagrams
DNA replication timing influences gene expression level. J Cell Biol. 2017; 216:1907-1914. Whole genome replication timing analysis of 7 phylogenetically diverse yeast identified genomic features with conserved replication timing and demonstrated that early replication timing might facilitate maximal expression of genes expressed in S-phase
Aberrant DNA replication timing is associated with changes in gene expression, changes in epigenetic modifications and an increased frequency of structural rearrangements. Furthermore, certain replication timing changes can directly lead to overt genomic instability and may explain unique mutational signatures that are present in cells that
Control of DNA replication timing in the 3D genome Biology Diagrams
Figure 4: A diagrammatic representation of replication timing in a 70-Mb segment of human chromosome 2.The red horizontal line represents time in S-phase, from early (top) to late (bottom). Grey data points each represent a different DNA sequence position along the length of chromosome 2 as indicated on the x axis, with more positive values on the y-axis indicating earlier replication. The study of genome architecture and DNA replication timing in cleavage-stage embryos will be facilitated by the recent development of single-cell Hi-C, single-cell RNA sequencing and single-cell
Models for the organization of eukaryotic DNA replication have to account for two diametrically opposed conceptions of replication. On one side of the spectrum is the replicon paradigm, exemplified by the mechanism of bacterial replication, in which origins are well-defined sites that fire once in each cell cycle, leading to uniform replication that is identical in every cell 1. DNA replication timing leads to variation in DNA copy number along chromosomes among S phase cells (e.g., early-replicating regions are duplicated in most cells), causing read depth fluctuations
