Eukaryotic origins of DNA replication undergo activation at various times in S-phase, allowing the genome to be duplicated in a temporally staggered fashion. In the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the activation times of individual origins are not intrinsic to those origins but are instead governed by surrounding sequences. Currently, there are two examples of DNA sequences that are known to advance origin activation time, centromeres and forkhead transcription factor binding sites.

  • A biopsy showed intact melanocytes, suggesting that the hypopigmentation is due to reduced melanocyte function rather than loss of the cells themselves, although the exact mechanism remains unclear.
