Abstract excerpt
Genetic instability, a phenomenon relevant for developmentally regulated processes, cancer, and inherited disorders, can be induced by transcription. However, the mechanisms of transcription-associated genetic instability are not yet understood. Analysis of S. cerevisiae mutants of THO/TREX, a conserved eukaryotic protein complex functioning at the interface of transcription and mRNA metabolism, has provided...
