## Abstract DNA replication in eukaryotes is initiated at multiple replication origins distributed over the entire genome, which are normally activated once per cell cycle. Due to the complexity of the metazoan genome, the study of metazoan replication origins and their activity profiles has been l
The results obtained by acridine orange staining of chromosomes, after BrdU treatment, during one or two cell cycles, are described. The alterations of chromosome structure do not depend only on BrdU incorporation into DNA. Some other mechanisms are necessarily involved, and it is postulated that th
DNA methylation is the epigenetic modification, which introduces 5mC as fifth base onto DNA. As for the distribution of 5mCs, it is well known that they distribute themselves in a non-random fashion in genomic DNA so that methylation pattern is characterized by the presence of methylated cytosines o
