A long-standing hypothesis about eukaryotic DNA replication is that the late-replicating regions are transcriptionally inert and that repressing transcription delays replication initiation. But do contrasting results from yeast and a recent study in Drosophila imply that replication timing and transcriptional activity are differentially regulated in yeast and higher eukaryotes?
