The MF (x10−4) is shown for five cancer types (1 sample of melanoma of study 125, 25 samples of melanoma of study 226, 7 samples of prostate cancer27, 1 sample of small cell lung cancer28, 4 samples of chronic lymphocytic leukemia29, 9 samples of colorectal cancer30) and two completely sequenced personal genomes (Watson31 and HuRef genomes32) for ‘constant early’ (purple) and ‘constant late’ replicating regions (orange); and after stratifying by six different genomic features (nuclear lamina-associated domains11, CpG islands, recombination rate, GC percentage, gene density, and chromatin status). CpG island data generated by Wu et al53 were obtained from the UCSC genome browser. GC percentage was calculated for each 1Mb window using gc5base54. Chromatin status was derived from Giemsa-staining-based g-banding patterns50. We also used RefSeq genes in the control analyses. The recombination rate based on either the deCODE55, Marshfield56, or Genethon genetic maps57 was downloaded from UCSC genome browser. RR –recombination rate. CpGI – CpG island. GPos – Giemsa positive. Gneg – Giemsa negative.
