A summary of all replication events detected in the SMARD analysis of telomere/subtelomere segments (Figs. 2–6) from the various cell types studied is shown. The number of fully IdU- and CldU-substituted (red-green) molecules containing initiations, terminations, or a single visible fork (5′ to 3′ or 3′ to 5′) is indicated. The percentage of a given event of the total events observed is indicated in parentheses.
