Head-on replication-transcription collisions lead to formation of life threatening R-loops
2017-06-23
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Encounters between transcription and DNA replication machineries lead to conflicts that shape genomes, influence evolution, and lead to genetic diseases in humans. Although unclear why, head-on transcription (lagging strand genes) is especially disruptive to replication, increases DNA breaks, and promotes mutagenesis. Here, we show that head-on replication-transcription conflicts lead to pervasi...
