Abstract excerpt

Imprinted autosomal loci apparently reside in very large chromosomal domains that exhibit asynchrony in replication of homologous alleles during the DNA synthesis phase. Replication asynchrony can be cytogenetically visualized by a replication-banding discordance between homologous bands of a giv...
