Abstract excerpt
Asynchronous replication during S phase is a universal characteristic of genomically imprinted genes. Replication timing in imprinted domains is determined epigenetically, as it is parent of origin specific, and is seen in the absence of sequence divergence between the two alleles. At the imprinted H19/Igf2 domain, the methylated paternal allele replicates early while the CTCF-bound maternal allele replicates...
