It is the mechanism by which organisms pass their genetic information from one generation to the next, and life on Earth would be unthinkable without it. Despite the discovery of DNA structure in the 1950s, the mechanism of its replication remains rather elusive.   This work makes important contributions to this line of research. In particular, it addresses two key questions in the area of DNA replication: which evolutionary forces drive the positioning of replication origins in the chromosome; and how is the spatial organization of replication factories achieved inside the nucleus of a cell?   A cross-disciplinary approach uniting physics and biology is at the heart of this research. Along with experimental support, statistical physics theory produces optimal origin positions and provides a model for replication fork assembly in yeast. Advances made here can potentially further our understanding of disease mechanisms such as the abnormal replication in cancer.Springer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,2190-5053BiophysicsBiophysicsStatistical physicsDynamicsNucleic acidsGenetic engineeringPhysicsBiological and Medical Physics, Biophysicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P27008Complex Systemshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P33000Nucleic Acid Chemistryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L14011Genetic Engineeringhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/C12037Numerical and Computational Physics, Simulationhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19021Statistical Physics and Dynamical Systemshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19090Biophysics.Biophysics.Statistical physics.Dynamics.Nucleic acids.Genetic engineering.Physics.Biological and Medical Physics, Biophysics.Complex Systems.Nucleic Acid Chemistry.Genetic Engineering.Numerical and Computational Physics, Simulation.Statistical Physics and Dynamical Systems.572.8645Karschau Jensauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut792316MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910300426803321Mathematical Modelling of Chromosome Replication and Replicative Stress1771626UNINA
