Abstract excerpt
Transcription is essential for cellular function, but it can also lead to genetic instability, particularly through the formation of secondary structures such as R-loops, which consist of an RNA-DNA hybrid and a displaced DNA strand. Unscheduled R-loop accumulation is a major source of DNA damage and has been associated with several human diseases, including cancer. While multiple factors involved in RNA...
