Pharmacoepigenomics of Replication Timing: How Anti- Cancer Drugs Reshape Chromatin Domains and Mutational Landscapes.
Abstract: DNA replication timing serves as a fundamental epigenetic feature that organizes genome function during the cell cycle (3), while anti-cancer drugs profoundly alter this process to disrupt tumor growth(4). These agents target chromatin architecture, shifting replication domains and reshaping mutational patterns critical for cancer evolution (1,5). DNA replication timing (RT) domains serve as dynamic epigenetic organizers, partitioning the genome into early- and late-replicating regions that correlate with chromatin states, gene …
