in addition , from our observations of interphase chromosomes that were pulse-labelled with tritiated thymidine and a parallel study of premature chromosome condensation ( pcc ) using pulse-labelled m.muntjak cells , we conclude that , although chromatin decondensation may be required for dna synthesis , extreme chromatin decondensation can occur in the absence of dna synthesis .
