Telomere-to-telomere DNA replication timing profiling using single-molecule sequencing with Nanotiming by Bertrand Theulot, Alan Tourancheau, Emma Simonin Chavignier, Etienne Jean, Jean-Michel Arbona, Benjamin Audit, Olivier Hyrien, Laurent Lacroix, Benoît Le Tallec

“…Here we introduce Nanotiming, a single-molecule, nanopore sequencing-based method producing high-resolution, telomere-to-telomere replication timing (RT) profiles of eukaryotic genomes by interrogating changes in intracellular dTTP concentration during S phase through competition with its analogue bromodeoxyuridine triphosphate (BrdUTP) for incorporation into replicating DNA. This solely demands the labelling of asynchronously growing cells with an innocuous dose of BrdU during one doubling time followed by BrdU quantification along nanopore reads. …”

The Mechanisms of Movement Control and Time Estimation in Cervical Dystonia Patients by Pavel Filip, Ovidiu V. Lungu, Daniel J. Shaw, Tomas Kasparek, Martin Bareš

“…While the absence of neurological “cerebellar signs” in most dystonia patients may be considered at least provoking, there are more subtle indications of cerebellar dysfunction in complex, demanding tasks. Specifically, given the role of the cerebellum in the neural representation of time, in the millisecond range, dysfunction to this structure is considered to be of greater importance than dysfunction of the basal ganglia. …”
