## Abstract

We present a calculation technique for modeling inhomogeneous DNA replication kinetics, where replication factors such as initiation rates or fork speeds can change with both position and time. We can use our model to simulate data sets obtained by molecular combing, a widely used experimental technique for probing replication. We can also infer information about the replication program by fitting our model to experimental data sets and also test the efficacy of planned experiments by fitting our model to simulated data sets. We consider asynchronous data sets and illustrate how a lack of synchrony affects replication profiles. In addition to combing data, our technique is well-adapted to microarray-based studies of replication.

## Recorded benchmark results

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.
