Abstract excerpt
Genome instability via RNA:DNA hybrid-mediated R loops has been observed in mutants involved in various aspects of transcription and RNA processing. The prevalence of this mechanism among essential chromosome instability (CIN) genes remains unclear. In a secondary screen for increased Rad52 foci in CIN mutants, representing ∼25% of essential genes, we identified seven essential subunits of the mRNA cleavage and...
