Abstract excerpt
Genomic imprinting is characterized by allele-specific expression of multiple genes within large chromosomal domains that undergo DNA replication asynchronously during S phase. Here we show, using both fluorescence in situ hybridization analysis and S-phase fractionation techniques, that differential replication timing is associated with imprinted genes in a variety of cell types, and is already present in the...
