Replication origin mapping of mitotic and meiotic cells in different conditions. Schizosaccharomyces pombe

Identification of sites of replication initiation by copy number analysis, comparing samples before and after entry into S phase. Experiments were performed in the following strains and conditions for mitotic cells: cdc25-22 (temperature-sensitive mutation arrests cells at G2/M for synchrony, otherwise wild type), nitrogen-rich conditions; wild type, haploid and diploid, nitrogen-depletion conditions. Experiments were performed in the following strains and conditions for meiotic cells: pat1-114 diploid (temperature-sensitive mutation induces a synchronous meiosis, otherwise wild type), nitrogen-depletion and nitrogen-rich conditions; pat1-114 diploid with altered Cdc45 levels, nitrogen-depletion conditions. Overall design: Comparison of samples before and after S phase entry; dye-swap experiments were performed and averaged.
