Marker genes
ATAD2, DUT, GINS2, HELLS, MCM3, MCM5, MCM7, PCLAF, PCNA, PKMYT1, RFC4, SIVA1, TYMS
Annotation genes
PCNA, TYMS
Annotation rationales
MCM helicases, PCNA, and thymidylate synthesis (TYMS) define S-phase replication; HELLS suggests chromatin remodeling to maintain lineage fidelity during rapid cycling.
Functional implications
Executes accurate DNA synthesis for continuous renewal; protects genomic stability in a high-turnover, microbe-adjacent niche.
