Eukaryotic genomes are replicated from many origin sites that are licensed by the loading of inactive double hexamers of the replicative DNA helicase, Mcm2-7. How eukaryotic origin positions are specified remains elusive. Here we show that, contrary to the bacterial paradigm, eukaryotic origins are ...

A key event during eukaryotic replication termination is the removal of the CMG helicase from chromatin. CMG unloading involves ubiquitylation of its MCM7 subunit and the action of the p97 ATPase. Using a proteomic screen in Xenopus egg extracts, we identified factors that are retained on chromatin...

Topological stress can cause replication forks to stall as they converge upon one another during termination of vertebrate DNA synthesis. However, replication forks ultimately overcome topological stress and complete DNA synthesis, suggesting that alternative mechanisms can overcome topological stre...

Termination of bacteril DNA replication in the absence of processing enzymes
NELF coordinates Pol II transcription termination and DNA replication
Via the deep-sequencing of Okazaki fragments from Saccharomyces cerevisiae, we report the first comprehensive documentation of genome-wide replication directionality in any eukaryote; this permits the systematic analysis of both replication initiation and termination. We conduct a genome-wide analys...

Eukaryotic genome replication is stochastic with each cell using a different cohort of replication origins. Interpreting high-resolution genome replication profiles with a mathematical model allowed us to quantify the stochastic nature of genome replication. This approach included estimation of the ...

We have established a novel sequencing approach to characterise usage of replicative DNA polymerases in S. pombe. This approach allows us to determine the roles of DNA polymerase delta and epsilon in lagging strand and leading strand DNA synthesis, respectively in genome-wide scale. Utilising the d...
