  • We initially fit the data with individual sigmoids at each origin, in effect giving each origin an independent firing program.

  • First, we fit sigmoids to the replication fraction of origins from the microarray data and infer that the timing and the variation in timing of origin initiation are correlated.

  • Over the years a series of theoretical and numerical models have been proposed to explain the nature of sigmoids but until now there was no explanation on how such complex structures form, erupt and fade away.

  • The new model describes how sigmoids consist of many thin and twisted layers (or ribbons) of strong electric current.
