Abstract excerpt
Copy number variation (CNV) plays a fundamental role in modulating plant agronomic traits and tumorigenesis in animals. While frequently linked to replication stress, the mechanisms giving rise to CNVs are not fully elucidated. Here we characterize the mutational consequences associated with losing the conserved TONSOKU (TSK/TONSL) pathway (CAF-1-H3.1-TSK), which is required to resolve impaired DNA replication...
