Abstract excerpt
Saccharomyces cerevisiae telomeric DNA replicates late in S phase, and telomeric genes are transcriptionally silent. Transcriptional repression of telomere-proximal genes results from silent chromatin initiating at the chromosome end, but the relationship between telomeric chromatin and DNA replication is unknown. Mutations in SIR3, a silent chromatin component, cause telomeric DNA on chromosome V to replicate...
