Replication of Repetitious DNA and the S Period*

David E Comings 1, Emilio Mattoccia 1
PMCID: PMC283225  PMID: 5272325

Abstract

The renaturation kinetics of labeled DNA derived from synchronized Chinese hamster cells indicate that the three classes of repetitious DNA replicate uniformly throughout the S period, and that a piece of repetitious DNA may occur at or near the beginning of each replicon. Studies with mouse-cell DNA suggest that mouse satellite DNA replicates when euchromatin replicates.
