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...

A simple staining technique to demonstrate chromosomal DNA replication
With the BrdU technique here described, Giemsa stained metaphases with either early or late, replicational patterns can be obtained within 1 day after cell harvesting, showing a better resolution than3H-thymidine...
