摘要:
Methods for identifying and/or distinguishing a homogeneous population of cells based on their replication domain timing profile using high resolution genomic arrays or sequencing procedures are provided. These methods may be used to compare the replication timing profile for a population of cells to another replication timing profile(s), a replication timing fingerprint, and/or one or more informative segments of a replication timing fingerprint, which may be simultaneously or previously determined and/or contained in a database, to determine whether there is a match between them. Based on such information, the identity of the population of cells may be determined, or the identity of the population of cells may be distinguished from other populations of cells or cell types. Methods for determining a replication timing fingerprint for particular cell types are also provided.

摘要:
A method for determining a replication timing footprint comprises the following steps: (a) selecting a set of chosen regions of the replication timing profile of a chromosome of an individual, (b) choosing a set of selected regions from the set of chosen regions to form a set of selected regions and a set of unused regions, (c) conducting a iterative algorithm on the set of selected regions until a domain number for the set of selected regions has decreased to a predetermined minimum, (d) determining a replication timing footprint based the set of selected regions after step (c) has been conducted, and (e) displaying the replication timing footprint to a user.

Described is a method for determining that a population of cells are a specific type of leukemic cell based on the replication timing fingerprint for the population of cells.
