Abstract excerpt
Gene clusters amplified in the ovarian follicle cells of Drosophila serve as powerful models for metazoan DNA replication. In response to developmental signals, specific genomic regions undergo amplification by repeated firing of replication origins and bidirectional movement of replication forks for approximately 50 kb in each direction. Previous work focused on initiation of amplification, defining replication...
