Impediments to replication fork movement: stabilisation, reactivation and genome instability.
Chromosoma - 1 Mar 2013
Lambert Sarah, Carr Antony M
Abstract excerpt
Maintaining genome stability is essential for the accurate transmission of genetic material. Genetic instability is associated with human genome disorders and is a near-universal hallmark of cancer cells. Genetic variation is also the driving force of evolution, and a genome must therefore display adequate plasticity to evolve while remaining sufficiently stable to prevent mutations and chromosome rearrangements...
