Abstract excerpt
Encounters between DNA replication and transcription can cause genomic disruption, particularly when the two meet head-on. Whether these conflicts produce point mutations is debated. This paper presents detailed analyses of a large collection of mutations generated during mutation accumulation experiments with mismatch repair (MMR)-defective Escherichia coli. With MMR absent, mutations are primarily due to DNA...
