From DNA sequence analysis to modeling replication in the human genome

[en] We explore the large-scale behavior of nucleotide compositional strand asymmetries along hum chromosomes. As we observe for 7 of 9 origins of replication experimentally identified so far, the (TA GC) skew displays rather sharp upward jumps, with a linear decreasing profile in between two successi jumps. We present a model of replication with well positioned replication origins and random terminatio that accounts for the observed characteristic serrated skew profiles. We succeed in identifying 287 pairs putative adjacent replication origins with an origin spacing 12 Mbp that are likely to correspond replication foci observed in interphase nuclei and recognized as stable structures that persist througho subsequent cell generations.
