ABSTRACT:
The invention pertains to novel genes which function in the regulation of DNA replication and/or entry of a cell into mitosis. The invention also pertains to novel proteins encoded by the genes described herein, antibodies which bind the encoded protein, and homologs of the novel genes which function in regulation of DNA replication and/or entry of a cell into mitosis and hybridize to the DNA sequence of the novel genes.
