    Description of a chromosome replication unit in individual prematurely condensed human S-phase chromosomes

    Mammalian chromosome replication was studied by the aid of premature chromosome condensation (PCC). After induction of PCC the sites of DNA replication appear as “gaps” between condensed chromosomal regions. T...
