p.42 top paragraph:"Because of the size of eukaryotic genomes, chromosomal duplication is accomplished in a multiparallel process. In human somatic cells between 10,000 and 100,000 parallel synthesis sites are present. This raises fundamental problems for eukaryotic cells to coordinate the start of DNA replication at each origin and to prevent replication of already duplicated DNA regions." |
