  • Several studies have predicted that some CNV and nonrecurring copy number changes (CNC) in cancer cell lines, which are induced by aphidicolin or occur in some cases of Duchenne muscular dystrophy, Smith-Magenis syndrome, and Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease, originate from nonhomologous end joining, fork stalling and template switching, or microhomology/microsatellite-induced replication mechanisms

  • Moreover, such evolutionarily significant hotspots as fragile sites and aphidicolin-induced CNC might resemble many human CNV Overall, we provide the first sound evidence of somatic mosaicism for CNV, with stable variation ratios in different cell types.

  • Kinetic experiments, employing serum withdrawal, and stathmokinetic analysis with aphidicolin, mimosine or nocodazole demonstrated that cells with high levels of Mcm6* cycled with the committed phases of the cell cycle (S, G2, and M).
