We propose a polymer model to investigate the dynamics of chromatin replication in three dimensions (PolyRep). Our results indicate that complexes, replisomes, may self-assemble during process and replicate by extruding it (immobile replisome) or moving along template filament (tracking replisome), reconciling previous discordant experimental evidence favour either scenario. Importantly, emergence one two morphologies depends major way on origin distribution as well presence nonspecific interactions between unreplicated firing factors—polymerases other components replisome. Nonspecific also appear instrumental creating clusters factors forks, structures akin foci observed mammalian cells . PolyRep simulations predict different mechanisms for evolution, including unanticipated loop-mediated fusion dynamics. suggest cluster formation, which our suggests be generic feature replication, provides hitherto underappreciated but robust pathway avoid stalled faulty would otherwise diminish efficiency process.
