Abstract excerpt
The kinetics of DNA repair and RNA synthesis recovery in human cells following UV-irradiation were assessed using nascent RNA Bru-seq and quantitative long PCR. It was found that UV light inhibited transcription elongation and that recovery of RNA synthesis occurred as a wave in the 5'-3' direction with slow recovery and TC-NER at the 3' end of long genes. RNA synthesis resumed fully at the 3'-end of genes after...
