DNA replication patterns of the early S phase from amniotic fluid cells as revealed by a Giemsa staining technique
Abstract
We report on DNA replication patterns of the early S phase demonstrated by a BUdR/Hoechst (33258)-fluorescence/Giemsa technique. Replication starts in R bands and spreads within 1 hr over the whole chromosome complement with exceptions concerning heterochromatin. The beginning and the duration of replication are discussed.
