RNA-DNA Differences Are Generated in Human Cells within Seconds after RNA Exits Polymerase II

RNA sequences are expected to be identical to their corresponding DNA sequences. Here, we found all 12 types of RNA-DNA sequence differences (RDDs) in nascent RNA. Our results show that RDDs begin to occur in RNA chains ∼55 nt from the RNA polymerase II (Pol II) active site. These RDDs occur so soon...
