DNA replication is perhaps the most precisely regulated protein-nucleic acid interaction in biology; each base pair of each chromosome is replicated once per cell cycle and only once per cell cycle.
Silencers are regulatory control elements that can simultaneously repress transcription of multiple genes throughout a region of a chromosome.
We are exploiting this relationship between silencing and replication to identify genetically the genes that regulate replication.

 Interactive Fly, Drosophila
Silencing of the cryptic mating-type loci HMR and HML requires the recognition of DNA sequence elements called silencers by the Sir1p, one of four proteins dedicated to the assembly of silenced chromatin in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
Epitope-tagged protein is nuclear in G1 and cytoplasmic in S-phase cells, suggesting that DNA replication may be regulated by either the translocation of this protein between the nucleus and the cytoplasm or the selective degradation of the protein in the nucleus.
The presence of DNA replication structures correlates with activation of the Cds1p checkpoint protein kinase and the S-phase checkpoint pathway.

 Orion Genomics - News and Investors
Sharon Begley explores imprinting, a process by which normal genes are regulated (silenced) by a tag that sits on top of the DNA.
Begley discusses Orion's technology and molecular diagnostics that can detect the 'second genetic code,' or the pattern of silencers on DNA and how this technology is important for the early warning of disease.
Using a technology called MethylScope ("methyl" is the DNA silencer), "we will map this second genetic code to see which genes are imprinted and identify any differences between normal and cancerous cells," says Nathan Lakey, chief executive of Orion Genomics, a closely held biotechnology concern.

Analysis of the region 3' to the CD4+ T-cell gene Rpt-1 (encoding regulatory protein T-lymphocyte 1) led to the definition of a silencer element that inhibits heterologous gene expression in certain CD4+ T-cell lines but not in B-cell or non-lymphoid cell lines.
