Allele specific timing of replication
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: We have characterized allele-specific regulation of replication in human cultured primary basophilic erythroblasts using TimEX-seq. We show that in most of the genome the timing of replication of the two chromosome homologs is robustly and tightly regulated since the two alleles replicate almost at the same time. We also show that small genetic differences such as SNPs and indels do not affect replication timing. We identify two major causes of replication asynchrony: the presence of large structural variants and parental imprinting. Both are associated with the formation of asynchronously replicated domains that can reach several megabases in size. We also report that replication timing domains have a previously undetected fine structure.
