摘要
The long-presumed relationship between transcriptional activity of genes and their replication early in S-phase was challenged when a whole-genome analysis of replication timing in budding yeast found no such relationship. A new study reports the first genome-wide comparison of replication timing and gene expression in a multicellular organism, revealing a strong correlation between the two. This difference may reflect levels of nuclear organization that are important in the context of tissue-specific gene regulation.
