Functional centromeres determine the activation time of pericentric origins of DNA replication in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

The centromeric regions of all Saccharomyces cerevisiae chromosomes are found in early replicating domains, a property conserved among centromeres in fungi and some higher eukaryotes. Surprisingly, little is known about the biological significance or the mechanism of early centromere replication; ho...
