Cancer Res. 62:2002;6791-6795 Though awaiting confirmation, this provocative study suggests that stem cells may conserve one of the two parental DNA strands of each chromosome, as contrasted to the expected random assortment of the two strands in the stem versus the daughter cell. This intriguing result also suggests the importance of investigating the entire issue of interphase chromosome positions (including replicon locations) in embryonic as well as adult-derived stem cells.
