Abstract excerpt
Common fragile sites (CFS) are evolutionary conserved loci where damage appears recurrently upon treatments perturbing DNA synthesis. Although long studied, the mechanisms underlying CFS fragility are still incompletely understood and CFS function is unknown. We have mapped most of them at the junction of chromosomal bands replicating at different times in S phase, indicating that specific replication programs...
