Abstract excerpt
To safeguard genetic integrity, cells have evolved an accurate but not failsafe mechanism of DNA replication. Not all DNA sequences tolerate DNA replication equally well [1]. Also, genomic regions that impose structural barriers to the DNA replication fork are a potential source of genetic instab...
