Telomeres in ICF syndrome cells are vulnerable to DNA damage due to elevated DNA:RNA hybrids
24 Jan 2017
Abstract excerpt
DNA:RNA hybrids, nucleic acid structures with diverse physiological functions, can disrupt genome integrity when dysregulated. Human telomeres were shown to form hybrids with the lncRNA TERRA, yet the formation and distribution of these hybrids among telomeres, their regulation and their cellular effects remain elusive. Here we predict and confirm in several human cell types that DNA:RNA hybrids form at many...
