Abstract excerpt
DNA replication stress is incurred by endogenous or environmental challenges to replication fork progression that impede faithful genome duplication. Genomic G-quadruplexes (G4s) are DNA secondary structures that present a substantial barrier for passage of the replisome, and DNA synthesis past these structures requires dynamic remodeling by specialized helicases, translocases, and other G4-binding proteins to...
