===Rate of DNA replication===

The rate of DNA replication in a mouse cell growing ''in vitro'' was measured by autoradiography as 33 nucleotides per second.<ref name="pmid1095649">{{cite journal |vauthors=Hand R |title=Deoxyribonucleic acid fiber autoradiography as a technique for studying the replication of the mammalian chromosome |journal=J.
